Default Salute

A documary /movie of the most famous Olympic photo in Mexico Olympic games 1968.
The question "who was the white guy","did he support it?"
Peter Normon was an Australian athlete,and yes he was part of the protest.
that protest,destroyed peters life here in Australia,he was shunned by the whole white racist country,and went virtually unknown for years.

At the Sydney Olympics,the commitee,asked Normon,would he retract his involvement in the political protest,supporting the civil rights movement.If so they would restore his achiements and let him participatein the Olympics

Peter stood by his princples and said NO

I found this story interesting,so much I bought and framed the iconic picture.
