When the race was over, when Carlos and Smith were on the podium they raised their fists during the national anthem for human rights. They broke the equality barrier because they protested for equality. Peter Norman wore an OPHR button to show his support for human rights. Standing on that podium with Carlos and Smith destroyed Peter Norman's career. Carlos was also mad about Mexican students getting killed peacefully protesting during the 1968 Olympics. They were protesting because people were going hungry in Mexico and Mexico was using money on the Olympics and not that problem.
