Tommie Smith and John Carlos received their medals wearing black socks and no shoes to represent black poverty and to draw international attention to racial discrimination in the United States. Peter Norman wore a human rights badge during the medal ceremony to support them.
The International Olympic Association took back their medals for violating the Olympic spirit by making a political statement. Norman was not allowed to participate in the next Olympics as a part of the Australian team.
