My activist grandfather
|
It was the first political organisation to represent the interests of Aboriginal people, but the Australian Aboriginal Progressive Association has long been forgotten. Now, Professor John Maynard has produced For Liberty and Freedom, a history of the AAPA and its founder, Fred Maynard.
John Maynard joins us to talk about his activist grandfather.
Also, the writer Sharon Ennis muses about identity, self-loathing and internal racism. And we go to the opening of 'Lines in the Sand', an exhibition which features the work of Daniel Boyd.
