Norman, a white Australian physical education teacher, wore a human rights badge on his shirt in support of the two Americans. Norman was never selected to represent Australia again, and his role in the protest was sometimes overlooked. In 2005, a statue commemorating the protest was erected at San Jose State University, where Smith and Carlos were students. When Norman died in 2006, Smith and Carlos both travelled to Australia and were pallbearers at his funeral. "He was a lone soldier in Australia," Carlos said at the time.
