Scope and content

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 co-ordinated by Ray Peckham of the Federal Council for Aboriginal Advancement. The meeting was held at the Perkins' home on the same day and was attended by members of the Student Action For Aborigines, New Settler League, Aborigines' Progressive Association, Aboriginal-Australian Fellowship and the Union of Australian Women. One of the outcomes of this meeting was to have a delegation proceed to Walgett. This report is from the delegation.
