This 1959 poster sums up the protest position against a racially selected All Blacks rugby team touring South Africa in 1960. Listen to the comments of famous former All Black George Nēpia (Ngāti Rākaipāka), who had been omitted from a 1928 tour at the specific request of the South African prime minister. Despite public opposition, the 1960 tour went ahead.
