Two runners Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their gloved fists and wore civil rights buttons at the medal ceremony of the 200 meters in Mexico City in 1968. The silver medalist was a white Australian Peter Norman who did not raise his fist but did wear the civil rights button in support. He remained a good friend of the two for the rest of his life.
