Summary

This submission is from a Blak woman who grew up in the 50s and 60s, experiencing racism in systems that were supposed to treat her equally but didn’t. She feels lucky to have had amazing parents and a large family, who taught her to be proud and to fight for justice. She recalls participating in protests that helped shape Australia’s respect for Aboriginal people and feels proud of those times. She expresses concern about the potential election of a right-wing government that wants to strip away Aboriginal rights and hopes we all unite with our allies and rise up and fight against the stripping away hard fought for rights.
