Where’s peter Norman!!
He died about 20 years ago. Smirh and Carlos were his Paul Bearers.
Goosebump but huge respect for them who stand for what they believed is right even if it's risky.
This was very enlightening and educational ...
What about Peter Norman? The guy who gave them the glove?
He died
You forgot to mention that Australian Runner Peter Norman help them out
Ya and he lost his career also
It's too bad ☹️ they officially banned anyform of protest at the Olympics....
Poor Peter Norman.

IT WAS PETER NORMANS IDEA
it wasnt his idea he just helped
Peter Norman was the one who told them to do it
No, he was the one that gave them the gloves, it was not his idea
@@user-xk1ej2vu3g close, he told them that since John forgot his gloves, they could just split the pair
Cool bruh
And now, in Mexico, a raised fist means silence. A now more powerful symbol due to the earthquakes that happened recently.
