Women's anti-racism march

Women's anti-racism march

In 1983 film-maker Merata Mita described 'Pakeha groups up and down the country who were concerned around the [1981] Springbok Tour and who came out of it looking at the issue of domestic racism' (P. Rosier, ed. Broadsheet – twenty years of Broadsheet magazine, Auckland: New Women's Press. 1992, p. 45). Among the most active of these Pākehā anti-racists were radical feminists such as the women in this photo, seen marching to the Waitangi national marae on Waitangi Day 1983.
