Episode 122: A History of Blak Radical Traditions & Beyond (with Dr Gary Foley)

We were privileged to be joined by Gumbainggir historian, educator, activist Dr Gary Foley who for decades has played a central part in some of the most pivotal civil rights movements for First Nations justice. He's been part of community-led services including Redfern’s Aboriginal legal Service, the Aboriginal health service in Melbourne, and National Black Theatre; and continues to be an outspoken advocate for First Nations' justice and self determination.  In 1972 a documentary called NINGLA-ANA: Hungry For Our Land was released - charting the history of these movements. It’s since been restored and re-released, available nationally.  Hear him in conversation speaking to the legacy of Blak radical traditions, the importance of archives to envision socially-just futures, and what the hopes are for having this film being released for new generations to see. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
