Peter Norman was an Australian Athlete Norman wore a human rights badge on his shirt during the ceremony to show his support to the dissent of two American Athletes. Norman was not included in the Australian team for the next Olympic. 

The International Olympic Association held Tommie Smith and John Carlos guilty of violating the Olympic spirit by making a political statement and as a result, took back their medals as punishment for the offense. In their native USA, they were subjected to severe criticism and probably had to face persecution at the hands of the more orthodox elements in the American society. However, in hindsight, their action did succeed in attracting international attention to the Civil Rights Movement and condition of the Blacks in the USA.
