Funded Activity Summary

The influence and inspiration of African-American political and intellectual thought on Aboriginal political activism in 20th century Australia. This project will explore the significant African American influences during the 20th century on the rise of organised Aboriginal political protest. This agitation rose and fell in unison with the impact of world events and personalities. Across the entire spectrum of the century the imprint of unwavering support, inspiration and influence of African American intellectual and political thought on Aboriginal political mobilisation runs deep - Jack Johnson, African American servicemen during WW I and WW II, W.E.B Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Malcom X and the Black Panthers are just some that will be analysed in a project that holds significant international racial-historical importance.
