Discover the powerful story behind one of Australia's most iconic images in 'Black and Proud'. On April 17, 1993, Indigenous AFL footballer Nicky Winmar made history by standing up against racial abuse from the Collingwood crowd. By lifting his shirt and proclaiming 'I'm black and I'm proud to be black', Winmar sparked a nationwide conversation about racism and identity in Australia. This compelling book takes you beyond the photograph to explore the narratives of those who stood beside him—his courageous Indigenous teammates Nicky Winmar and Gilbert McAdam, as well as the photographers Wayne Ludbey and John Feder. These stories highlight acts of valor and provide an intimate look at the struggles and triumphs faced by these individuals in the realm of sport and society. 'Black and Proud' is not just a celebration of sporting history; it’s a profound examination of cultural pride and resilience.

Description:


It is one of Australia's most iconic images. On 17 April1993, the Indigenous AFL footballer Nicky Winmarstood up against racial abuse and made history. Facingthe Collingwood crowd that had taunted him all day theSt Kilda player pulled up his shirt, pointed to his chestand declared: 'I'm black and I'm proud to be black'.

Published the next day, the photos of Winmar's gesturesparked an intense debate that forced the AFL, the fansand the nation to confront their prejudices head-on.


Black and Proud takes us behind the searing image tothe stories of those who made it happen – the Indigenousteam-mates Nicky Winmar and Gilbert McAdam andthe two photographers, Wayne Ludbey and John Feder.Bound by a love of the game, the four were broughttogether by acts of courage and vilification that showhow far we have come and just how far we have to go.

'17 April 1993 provided our most powerful imageof Uncle Nicky and this book takes us to the storiesbehind it. These stories are courageous, inspiring,intimate and eye-opening. This is a book allAustralians need to read.'– Adam Goodes

It’s great and comfy
Color: 17 - Emerald Green, Size: Full
It extremely soft and the all around elastic/ deep pocket are great because my mattress is tall and I roll around like a rotisserie chicken at night, but the sheets don’t come off. It’s fantastic and I’m sure to get more colors of the sheet

For soft, sensually awesome sheets- LOOK no more!
Color: 15 - Sage Green, Size: Full
Would give 10 stars if possible! (And this is a nonpaid for review!) When I received the sheets, instantly I knew that I had the right ones, had bought a down comforter close in color as well.. these sheets? The material is strong yet, soft and warm. So so especially soft, and when I make up the bed, ahhh! plus the corners on the fitted, such a cinch to pull over the mattress, even with a topper on the bed! Feels almost spa-like <3 Very comfy, so far in the winter and in 85 degree heat! Soft and easy peasy to care for, too. Washing is a breeze, dry and fold. So far the only thing I can smell on these sheets is my wonderful detergent! Will purchase again. And possibly, again! Thank you!!

Very thin. You get what you pay for.
Color: 01 - White, Size: Queen
You get what you pay for. I first noticed the softness which was great. The quality is very thin. They are cool which is great. I have not washed them yet. I would suggest washing them on cool and gentle by themselves. And because they are so thin I would fluff dry for an hour if you have that setting. The two things that damages clothes and sheets, etc. are if you have an agitator in your washer, those ruin clothes and the heat you choose for the fabric you’re drying I always wash my clothes on cold. I do not have an agitator anymore and on delicate and thin fabrics, I use fluff dry. It is cool, but it will dry, especially if it is thin and I’ve had to dry my fine delicates a little bit longer on fluff that way they don’t shrink because the shrinking comes in from the heat from the dryer so keep that in mind another good thing to remember if you got white sheets like I did is that when you use your detergent add a little bit of borax or laundry booster and they will help get them clean and sparkly white. I am on the fence about whether I would recommend this or not if you’re tight on money and you take good care of them I would recommend that you get them. I’m a linen freak and I buy mostly expensive sheets and I thought I would try this out so that’s where I’m at.
