FORGOTTEN HERO
I really enjoyed the article on 1968 by Jon Savage in the September issue. A picture was shown of the protest at the men’s 200-metre medal ceremony at the Mexico City Olympic Games, in which two American athletes give a Black Power salute.
Tommie Smith and John Carlos are always mentioned when the picture is shown and we know how badly they were treated afterwards, but the forgotten third hero in the infamous picture is the rarely mentioned Australian, Peter Norman.
