On April 17, 1993, after an Australian Football League match between St. Kilda
and Collingwood marred by racist chanting, victorious St. Kilda star Nicky
Winmar faced the opposition fans, lifted his shirt and, pointing to his chest,
declared, "I'm black and I'm proud to be black." The moment was immortalized by
photographers Wayne Ludbey and John Feder and forced Australian football and its
fans to confront deeply held prejudices. This chronicle documents the events
that led to that pivotal moment, narrating the stories of the players and
photographers and their experiences in the lead-up to and aftermath of the
match. This is a fascinating, thought-provoking account of the interrelation
between sport and race in Australia and is essential reading for any sports
enthusiast or student of Australian history.
