In this episode of Paint it Blak, Emma takes a step back in time to look at a sporting moment that’s gone down in history. Nicky Winmar’s stance. Subscribe | https://thewe.st/PaintItBlak

30 years ago this week, the AFL legend– after a torrent of racial abuse on the field – lifted his shirt and pointed to his skin, saying ‘I’m black and I’m proud to be black”

Since then, it’s been immortalised in a statue and has been used by younger athletes across multiple sporting codes to honour their culture.

Emma looks into what has and hasn’t changed in 30 years, and what we can do to end racism in both sport and wider society.
