An appeal to world opinion.

A letter addressed to U Thant, Secretary-General of the United Nations, from the Northern Territory Council for Aboriginal Rights. It addresses the issue of lesser citizenship for the "Aborigines of the Northern Territory" as enshrined in the Australian Constitution, and the effects of this treatment on the Aboriginal people. The appeal is made "under the clause of the United Nations Charter which says no people should be discriminated against because of their race or colour", and is signed by Davis Daniels, Secretary. A paragraph on the back page states: "Authorised by Mrs. K. Walker, Queensland Secretary, Federal Council for Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders (FCCA), and Secretary, Queensland Council for the Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders".
