Beschreibung
When many voices are joined together, with courage, change can happen. In 1966, more than two hundred courageous Aboriginal people walked off the Wave Hill Cattle Station in the Northern Territory. Led by Vincent Lingiari, these stockmen and their families were walking together to fight forequal pay and landrights. Exquisitely illustrated and designed, this non-fiction picture book brings a landmark historical event to a new generation.Many people have seen the iconic photograph of Gough Whitlam pouring a handful of red soil into the hands of Vincent Lingiari a symbol of the legal transfer of Gurindji land back to the Gurindji people and recognise this as a key moment in the ongoing land rights movement.Freedom Daydelves into the events that led up to this moment, and makes a rallying cry for the things that still need to change in its wake.ThomasMayorco-authors this book withRosie, Vincent Lingiari's granddaughter, to bring this vital story to life. The story has been written in close consultation with the Lingiari family.
