From Little Things Big Things Grow
If you happen to be in Canberra over the next six months be sure to drop by the National Museum of Australia for the 'From Little Things Big Things Grow" exhibition... 10 September 2009 – 8 March 2010
9am to 5pm. Free admission.
Gallery of First Australians Focus Gallery
From Little Things Big Things Grow traces the fight for Indigenous civil rights in Australia from 1920 to 1970.
It tells the largely unknown story of Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists who fought together for justice and equal rights for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
This exhibition details the achievements and sacrifices of the struggle through personal stories, rarely seen objects and protest material.
To them the victory belongs, to them the future belongs, for they, the people, are the real makers of history.
Frank Hardy, 1961
