| Summary |
On 17 April 1993, after an AFL match between St Kilda and Collingwood, Saints star Nicky Winmar made a historic statement in the face of a torrent of racial abuse. Facing the Collingwood crowd after St Kilda's decisive win, he pulled up his shirt, pointed to his chest and declared:I'm black and I'm proud to be black. |
