Over the weekend my wife and our two kiddos attended The Long Walk in Melbourne. The Long Walk celebrated the positive achievements of our Indigenous communities. It was a time of sharing and celebrating.
Like many modern Australian’s we are a ‘mixed’ race family. The Long Walk was a wonderful event to role model to our children public activism and the need to end racism.
I was compelled to add this photo to my gallery after reading Helen Bascom’s Journal titled “I Have Given Up“. I and my family do understand Helen’s and her family’s pain. I would hope that she continues to move the world through her images and thoughts.
Keep going Helen, it’s people like you, through your words and actions, that will make a difference. Don’t give up!
The Long Walk sounds like a fantastic thing to be involved with.
Racism does suck!
I went over to Helen’s page too and read all that, sometimes people just make me sad.
