- productDescription:
- <p>On 12 February 1965, a group of University of Sydney students hired a bus, hung a banner across the side and set off on a 2-week bus trip across NSW. Led by Indigenous rights activist Charles Perkins – who went on to become the first Indigenous man to graduate from an Australian University – the Freedom Ride was instrumental in raising awareness of racial injustice and building momentum for reconciliation action in Australia.</p><p>The widely-publicised Ride contributed significantly to changes in Australians’ attitudes towards Aboriginal rights. Subsequently, in 1967, more than 90% of Australians voted ‘Yes’ in a landmark referendum that gave Indigenous Australians full rights as citizens.</p>
