Be like Peter Norman.- John Carlos

Rise & Grind - if God woke you up this Thursday morning, BE productive. The Life Quote for today is... "Be like Peter Norman." - John Carlos
In the past few months, we have witnessed our people losing their lives for no reason other than the color of their skin. It’s sad to say, but unfortunately, our brothers and sisters who have recently ascended only follow countless before them. This is not a new phenomenon! It’s only now, thanks to camera phones and social media, that the wider world is bearing witness to the horrors that Black people face every day. A lot of my friends have asked me in multiple conversations, about how they can be of service for change? ...after hearing that question - I could only think of Dr. C saying to me "Be Like Peter Norman”. So, it’s only fitting to share my thoughts with you today of being an Ally for the common good of humanity. As this Friday (June 5) marks Dr. Carlos's 75th Birthday - I want to honor his earth strong with this idea...
To be an ally with someone, you must have a common interest or desired goal that you both want to see achieved. Peter Norman, the Australian sprinter who stood alongside Tommie Smith and John Carlos on the podium at the 1968 Olympics, will forever be remembered as a great ally in the fight for equality because he took the risk and stood beside John Carlos in protest that faithful day.
In today's society, many people who see themselves as allies only do it when it's convenient or when it's not risky. Ally is a word only means something if there's action attached to it. We need more individuals to be like Peter Norman.
.
We here at LIWI68, encourage and welcome others to take a stand and become our ally in the continued fight against anti-Black racism.
There are many ways to do be an ally but the first is to recognize that racism is a problem you have a responsibility to help solve. Then look at ways to educate yourself, listen to Black people, donate to Black-led organizations seeking to eliminate anti-Black racism, and support Black businesses.
Allyship is about action. BE LIKE PETER NORMAN.
