To mark the centenary of the Australian Aboriginal Progressive Association (AAPA), an incredible line-up of activists, historians and experts reflect on the legacy of the first politically organised and united all-Aboriginal activist group, which began in 1924 under the leadership of Frederick Maynard. Discussions will be followed by the official launch of the new edition of Fight for Liberty and Freedom by John Maynard and a display of items connected to the history of the AAPA.
Speakers include Pauline Clague, Gary Edward Foley, Heather Goodall, Raymond Kelly, Ganur Maynard, John Maynard, Djon Mundine OAM and Gary Williams. Find out more about the speakers and program at the State Library of NSW.
