The Story Behind the Photo: St Kilda player Nicky Winmar faced a hostile Collingwood crowd at Victoria Park. Winmar and Aboriginal teammate Gilbert McAdam withstood racist taunts during the match. St Kilda emerged victorious and spontaneously at game's end Winmar lifted his arms over his head, then raised his St Kilda jersey to point at his skin, declaring: "I'm black - and I'm proud to be black!"
