        Worth acknowledging Peter Norman as well, and the price he paid for his support of Smith and Carlos. This was Smith and Carlos carrying Norman's coffin in 2012.pic.twitter.com/TyAM6BUWIK

        We owe a debt of gratitude to each and every courageous contributor that demonstrated (and suffered for) showing how white privilege responds to any threat to its power.

        How is this any different from Kaepernick's knee? It isn't. 50 yrs later, still quietly fighting to be heard. I don't have words ... Weird October date for Summer Olys by today's standards. Winter & Summer Olys took place in same year. Must have been about six months apart.

        And the forgotten “third man” who also paid terribly for his support. #peternorman

        Oct 16th, 1968. Mexico City, track n field, Gold n bronze medals. And #PeterNorman of Australia won silver. At least 100 tweeters are saying it happened Oct 16. I believe it, was in school, had POC friends who asked me if I'd seen it n what did I think. I was a first sem senior.

        I remember it too. Front page of the newspaper. Just didn’t remember the summer Olympics being in the fall back then.

        There had to have been a reason. Summer of 68 in US was filled w unrest. Don't know about Mexico.
