The Freedom Rides were inspired by the Freedom Riders of the American Civil Rights Movement. The Freedom Riders were all University students, and planned to go on a trip around country NSW exposing racism towards the indigenous community. They formed their own group, the Student Action for Aborigines (SAFA) The Freedom Riders had three purposes: # Draw attention to the state of Aboriginal health, education, and housing. # Point out a lessen the barriers to racially equality. # Encourage Aboriginal people to resist discrimination. The Freedom Riders picketted the Walgett RSL about its refusal to allow Aboriginal ex-servicemen to use the facilities. At Moree, they successfully desgregated the local swimming pool. At Bowraville they protested against the segregation of a cinema there. Resistance from local non-indigenous people was common. The tour bus was followed out of Walgett during the night and rammed off the road. Hall Greenland states of the Freedom Ride: "I like to think the Freedom Ride was a success. It exposed the under-belly of small town racism and marked the renaissance of Aboriginal activism in Australia." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hall Greenland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
