The Australian Parliament asked for post-mortem forgiveness to athlete Peter Norman. At the 1968 Olympic games they shared podium with Tommie Smith and John Carlos, athletes who greeted the Black Panthers. Norman is the third one that appears in the photo and on his chest he puts an insignia against racism.

Australia was, however, a particularly racist country at the time, which caused all kinds of oppression of Aboriginal people. Despite being a promising athlete, this photograph led him to sink the race and condemn it to oblivion. At the Sydney Olympic Games, the Australian federation did not even invite it, even if it was dominated. When he died in 2006, his coffin was taken by athletes Smith and Carlos.
