16th February - 1965
We have arrived in Moree we are here for
two days, we had two demonstrations to do these demonstrations break the
council law. In Moree you were not allowed to do many things for eg. If you
were aboriginal you could not enter the public pool. This created many
arguments and even to the point where fights broke out. There were people being
knocked over, eggs being thrown as well as punches towards the protesters.
There were many arrests made that day. I think that it needs to change aboriginals are not even seen as human they are considered apart of the Flora and Fauna of Australia. They are not allowed to vote all we are trying to do is earn the Aboriginals some equality. I hope we got across to somebody today
and that it wasn’t just a waste of time.

Oh my I didn't know things were so bad, thats ridiculous. The Aboriginal community should not be treated with such disrespect! I fully support what your group is doing and I believe in your vision.
