Peter Norman is a legend

What a speech. A shameful episode in Australia’s history and, let’s be honest, there are many of them.

Imagine coming home to a nation after winning a medal and they Treat your like you’re nothing 😢 Rip Peter Norman Olympic medal winner Humanitarian❤💜💛🤍🇦🇺

Im not Austrailian and im very proud of Peter Norman.

I wasn't around in the late 60's/early 70's, i was born in 1979. What I would like to say is that it wasn't the Aussie public that were racists, the Aussie public were not against human rights & equality. Yes of course there were some racist Aussie's back then, like there are racists still today not just in Australia but all over the world. I'm not saying the Aussie public are perfect in any way, shape or form but u can't call out an entire nation as being racists but u can call out the Aussie Govt at that time aswell as the Aussie Olympic Committee as the racists.

Peter Norman was my teacher at secondary school I had no idea what he did

This made me cry. I am So thankful someone was there to film this man’s beautiful speech.

Oh my Lord, how touching <3 God Bless them, and anyone else who does the right thing.

These are elite Human Beings, who will whizz past the Earth.Achieve, teach and depart. They are not bothered about losing it, like you and me. It's Not their objective or the purpose of birth. They will create a greatness and use it to attain a specific goal. Then they will consider it won and leave. Their yardsticks are different. Don't even try to measure it, grasp the meaning and try to be a better Human being. That is their exact message.

Peter Norman was cancelled by rasist folks.

Thank you, Mr. Normon!!!

All three were heroic on that evening. The stand that they took is legend now. A film does need to be made of all three men.

40 years back and forth sad

As an Australian, I will forever be ashamed of how my country treated Peter Norman. As a person who has a long lineage in the Salvation Army (my father's side), I am proud to think myself as big a believer in human rights. And in my home, with my Mum, it's kind of kickarse that that's the first way I defied that woman. Arguing at 5yrs old that I can be friends with anyone I like & she's not at school so she can't stop me. Can you guess why? Yep, day 1 of Year 1, the first friend I made was a boy named Wayne. That's who he was to me. A hilarious boy in my class that I wanted to be mates with. All Mum could focus on was that he was Indigenous. To see her with her neighbours now... who are Indigenous, you'd never know. They don't. But I do. Makes me want to vomit. And slap her tbh.

In a world full of Pauline Hansons and Peter Duttons, be a Peter Norman

Peter Norman is a real Australian. We believe in the "fair go". Everyone should have the same opportunity, independent of race, religion or origin. I'm so proud of him and appreciate how strongly his spirit is honoured by Tommie and John, brilliant athletes that they are. Thank you both.

✊🏾Respect Mr Norman shame on the Australian Government. He is resting now. Good man treated appallingly by the government he paid his taxes to. 🖤🤍🖤

Rip Peter Norman!! I give a BIG thank you to these three beautiful souls!!

This is great!

Peter Norman was a beautiful human being now rewarded in heaven! 🇬🇧🇺🇸

I have so much respect for Peter Norman. When you see people fighting against injustice, stand with them. Black Lives Matter

Cryin in the club rn

I just heard about this story today and I've been hunting down everything on the story. I'm crying ugly tears right now.

Peter Norman is also a true hero standing alongside Smith and Carlos on that podium back in 1968. Brotherhood does not have a skin color.....

My uncle Ray Strath ( Australian ) refereed the 1956 Olympic games final in basketball between USA v USSR and he was invited to the Sydney Olympics to be honoured for his achievement and even he would admit that what he achieved is small fry compared to the great Peter Norman. This is so embarrassing to our nation the disgraceful treatment of this great man.

At least Peter is commemorated in the statue at the Museum of African-American history.

God bless Peter Norman

True sportsmanship from all the guys

Carlos and Smith were pallbeares at Peters funeral. Respect.

I only heard his story a few years ago, they never taught anything about him schools here

One of the best videos on UA-cam if not, the best. Please keep this video up. It has to be seen.

"Peter Norman is the man's Man" My new hero ..

Peter Norman’s sister and niece worked at my high school.... in Frankston North Melbourne Monterey secondary college when I was in year 11 in 2008 we went and watch the documentary salute which was one of the best docs I’ve ever seen and knowing his family members made it all that special....

A Hero is one who doesnt want the accolades, one who takes a stand before it became popular. God Bless you Peter Norman and your wonderful family

Peter Norman should be on that statue along with Tommie and John. I know he disagreed but to me, he represents the fact that it wasn't about black vs. white or anything like that, it's about equality for everybody and the people that represent those ideals. I know that's what Tommie Smith and John Carlos were saying too but he was a physical representation of it in a time when it was unheard of for people from different nations to sympathize with each other's causes. I hear he thought of himself as someone who was simply another person who believed in what they believed in, but to me he is and always will be, along with Tommie Smith and John Carlos, heroes.

We are all human! We should all get along! 7 billion strong! We should come together as the human race, despite our nationality our skin colour and religion,

As an Aussie, i've always felt like we lacked truly great heroes. Most of our 'heroes' are sportsmen etc.. since yeah. We do have a pretty fucked up history, from our treatment of Aboriginals to White Australia policy vs chinese even. This story alone puts him as my top/most respected Australian of all time.. no competition.

6:34 You blimey Americans Lol

Peter Norman is truly a brother from another mother. Saw in a video how great a sprinter he was, a world record 200 meter sprinter in 1968 Olympics even for one day still a great feat, the fastest Australian and highest medaled sprinter for his country to this day, and most of all a man who lived his life of determination in standing up for what is right against the powers that be in his home country and USA

In honor of him someone needs to do a great movie of him. RIP great man...

Wow a true hero

Sad Part of History. Rest In Peace Mr. Peter Norman, and run for all of us.

Peter did not expect to be on the stage, was there divine intervention? A lesson to us all.

heros like him dont want fame they equalities, freedom. thats why hes loved and remember until earth falls apart.

As an Australian I am so proud of Peter Norman. I am ashamed of the Australian government.

great speech....great men and man!!

Australian government should be ashamed the way they treated Peter Norman,he should've been a national hero.

As an Australian I'm embarrassed on behalf of some stuck up ppl

A man's man. Peter Norman.
