“Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
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!
