Black struggle for justice

Wednesday, May 3, 2006 - 10:00

May 1, 2006 marks the tenth anniversary of the death of Rob Riley, one of Aboriginal Australia's most dynamic and courageous leaders.

Aboriginal Studies Press have produced a new book called Rob Riley, An Aboriginal Leader's Quest for Justice, by Quentin Beresford. Robert Manne says of the book "I cannot think of a finer introduction to Aboriginal politics in the contemporary era. I urge all Australian citizens who care about reconciliation to read it." Copies are available from: <sales@aiatsis.gov.au>.
