Report of delegation to Walgett : Walgett Aborigines break the colour bar

Duplicated typescript report, black type on blue paper, dated 13th - 15th August, 1965. On 9 August 1965, following reports from the press and Charles Perkins that several Aboriginal Australians were arrested in Walgett for attempting to gain admittance to the lounge of the Luxury Theatre, a meeting was coordinated by Ray Peckham, of the Federal Council for Aboriginal Advancement, at the home of Charles Perkins. The meeting was attended by members of Student Action for Aborigines, New Settler League, Tranby Cooperative College, Aborigines Progressive Association, Aboriginal-Australian Fellowship and the Union of Australian Women. One of the outcomes of the meeting was to have a delegation proceed to Walgett in New South Wales. This report is from the delegation's visit. Unknown author; possibly produced by the Federal Council for Aboriginal Advancement.
