This project will explore the significant African-American influences on the rise of the 1920s Aboriginal political movement. Previously undisclosed material revealed over the past two years has necessitated a re-evaluation of early Australian Aboriginal political history. Why was the history of the rise of early Aboriginal political activism missing for some five decades? Why were significant relationships with high profile African-American identities obscured and erased from memories? The research outcomes from this archival study will make a contribution to the contemporary issues surrounding reconciliation and the current volatile historical debate over Aboriginal history. This project holds significant international racial historical importance.
