Submitted by Noel Conway on Sun, 04/12/2011 - 9:19pm

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 01/12/2011 - 2:47pm

Goodooga, northwest-NSW, 1 December 2011 -- A northwest NSW tribal leader will travel to England from the 4th December and on to the Continent for discussions on the liberation of his Euahlayi people “from the tyrannical colonial rule that Aboriginal people have been subjected to since the English invasion”. Michael Anderson is the last survivor of the four young Black Power men who set up the Aboriginal Embassy in Canberra in 1972. Starting on the 26th of January 2012, Aboriginal rights activists, supporters and founding members of the tent embassy will corroboree for three days to commemorate and celebrate the 40th anniversary of what has been one of Australia's most successful and historically significant protests.
