Freedom Rides

Picture


The Freedom Rides have played an important role in Australian history. Before they came along, Australia was completely overrun with racism and aboriginal rights didn’t exist. They were successful in their struggle by bringing attention to the poor states of the Aboriginal people. With them came greater awareness of Indigenous issues rurally.

The image on the left is of Ann Curthoys, Freedom Ride: a freedom rider remembers, in which Ann Curthoys is able to relive her experience of the Freedom Rides. This book is a highly recommened.
