Halt All Racist Tours (HART)

New Zealand

HART was a national organisation that began in 1969 and operated till 1993. It started with the campaign against the Springbok/All Black Rugby Tours of 1970 and preventing other sporting contacts with South Africa. This remained their main focus till 1980 when they merged with NZAAM.

The Alexander Turnbull Library, National Library in Wellington holds a substantial collection of the organisation. It contains correspondence, financial papers, minutes, newspaper clippings and publications.
