The Aboriginal Fight for Liberty and Freedom - The hidden history of African-American influence on the 1920s rise of Aboriginal political activism.

本项目将探讨非洲裔美国人对20世纪20年代土著政治运动兴起的重大影响。在过去两年中披露的以前未公开的材料有必要重新评估早期澳大利亚土著政治史。为什么早期原住民政治激进主义兴起的历史消失了大约50年？为什么与高调的非洲裔美国人身份的重要关系被掩盖并从记忆中抹去？ 从这个档案研究的研究成果将作出贡献，围绕和解和当前动荡的历史辩论土著历史的当代问题。这个项目具有重要的国际种族历史意义。

This project will explore the significant African-American influences on the rise of the 1920s Aboriginal political movement. Previously undisclosed material revealed over the past two years has necessitated a re-evaluation of early Australian Aboriginal political history. Why was the history of the rise of early Aboriginal political activism missing for some five decades? Why were significant relationships with high profile African-American identities obscured and erased from memories? The research outcomes from this archival study will make a contribution to the contemporary issues surrounding reconciliation and the current volatile historical debate over Aboriginal history. This project holds significant international racial historical importance.
