Black Power salute

This really old piece by Heesco in Cremorne depicts Australian Olympic runner Peter Norman in the famous 1968 Olympics Black Power salute photograph, which occurred during the medal ceremony for the 200-metre event (Norman took the Silver medal). He wore a badge of the Olympic Project for Human Rights in support of fellow athletes John Carlos and Tommie Smith.
