SUMMARY:1965: Freedom Ride in Australia Begins
DESCRIPTION:A group of Sydney University students organised a bus tour through western and coastal New South Wales towns in 1965. As the National Museum of Australia website explains: \n\n\n\nTheir purpose was threefold. The students planned to draw public attention to the poor state of Aboriginal health\, education and housing. They hoped to point out and help to lessen the socially discriminatory barriers which existed between Aboriginal and white residents. And they also wished to encourage and support Aboriginal people themselves to resist discrimination. The students had formed into a body called Student Action for Aborigines (SAFA) in 1964 to plan this trip and ensure media coverage. \n\n\n\nCharles Perkins\, an Arrente man born in Alice Springs\, who was a third year arts student at the university\, was elected president of SAFA. The group included Ann Curthoys who would later write a history of these events\, Jim Spigelman who would later become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New South Wales and Darce Cassidy\, an arts student who was also a part-time reporter for the ABC. \n\n\n\n Source: https://indigenousrights.net.au/civil_rights/freedom_ride\,_1965

SUMMARY:2015: Death of Faith Bandler AC
DESCRIPTION:Faith Bandler AC\, activist for Indigenous and South Sea Islander rights\, passed away on this day in 2005. An obituary in the Sydney Morning Herald highlighted her achievements: \n\n\n\nFaith Bandler changed people’s hearts and minds in support of human rights and social justice. Her smile\, no doubt\, helped. The National Trust listed her as a national living treasure in 1997 and the Herald\, in 2001\, included her among the 100 most influential Australians of the 20th century. The Good Weekend\, in 2011\, included her in a list of 50 women considered the most influential in the world. \n\n\n\nHer greatest achievement was her 10-year campaign for Aboriginal rights leading to the 1967 referendum which changed the Constitution and included Aborigines in the census. She worked for Aboriginal education and housing\, was a founding member of the Women’s Electoral Lobby and the Australian Republican Movement\, campaigned for the rights of South Sea Islanders and wrote six books\, including Wacvie (1977)\, a biographical novel about her father. \n\n\n\nRead the full text here.
