All frames taken during a night procession by people protesting against the 1976 rugby tour to South Africa in which the All Blacks finally toured with Māori and Samoan players as "honorary whites." Several people are wearing masks representing New Zealand Prime Minister Robert Muldoon, South African Prime Minister John Vorster, and All Blacks Tane Norton and Grant Batty. Placards include "All White's alright, eh Rob?" "Oppose apartheid. Stop the tour"; "Sure Vorster. It's N.Z. the way you want it"; It's OK Bryan, in your case it's different"; "Remember Sharpeville"; "Apartheid is murder"; and, a large banner carried by two people "Polynesians against racism in NZ." Several of the protesters have their faces painted half black and half white. Unless otherwise stated, all persons are unidentified. Photographs taken by Ans Westra.
