Sad note on that Olympic podium photo many people don't know about. The second place runner is Australian Peter Norman, who was wearing a civil rights badge and encouraged Smith and Carlos to make the symbolic gesture they did.
Australia effectively banned Norman from competition as a result of his support of Smith and Carlos, leaving him off the 1972 team. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics Australia celebrated every one of its living Olympians in a stadium ceremony with the exception of Peter Norman, who was not invited or honored at the ceremony.
