WHAT IS ONCE A PANTHER?
On June 16, 1971, a radical group of Pasifika and Māori men and women confronted state-sanctioned racism to form the Polynesian Panther Party.
Like their navigating ancestors before them, the Panthers guided their people through a nation raging with rugby, racism and beer.
Dressed all in black with afros and berets to match, their counterparts in the United States inspired them to seize the time.
On the 50th anniversary of the party’s formation, Brad Flahive and Alex Liu bring you the stories that led to a homegrown revolution.
