A special committee established to help organise a march for land rights and to protest the celebrations for Australia's bicentenary. Planning for the march launched nationally on 4 July 1987. Aside from acting as a counterpoint to the bicentenary celebrations, the aim of the march was to draw national and international attention to the ongoing impacts of colonisation and issues regarding the health, education, welfare, imprisonment rates and deaths in custody of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The resulting march was attended by more than 40,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples and non-Indigenous supporters. It was, at the time, the largest march ever held in Sydney since the Vietnam moratoriums. The march arrived in Hyde Park, Sydney, on Australia Day, 26 January 1988. Reverend Charles Harris was a leading figure of March 88 Committee. The Committee was connected to the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress (UAICC) through Reverend Harris. Unable to determine when the Committee disbanded.
