Storyboard Text
- I was a imprtant activisrt because I was a very kind but firm aboriginal rights activist. In 1956 I started the creation of the Aboriginal Australian Fellowship which was made of many black skinned and white skinned activists met and tried to start more protests and confront the government. I was vice president of this fellowship for a year before moving to help create the petition to start the 1967 referendum. I started helping with this in 1957
