Thank God for these men of integrity and especially for John Carlos. One has to make sacrifices for integrity. There are many lessons here.

"Is that 1968 or is that 2011?" Indeed. Unfortunately it's also 2020, both in America and Australia. A lot of us could still learn a lot from these three men of integrity and courage.
