White Australia has a black history. Kim will look at the history of systematic racism in Australia and the struggle for Aboriginal rights in Australia from 1788 until today. She will discuss how the current Northern Territory intervention is a continuation of these racist policies and how we can be part of the struggle for Indigenous rights in Australia.
