Anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations


Friday 13 February 2015 marks the 7th Anniversary of the National Apology to Australia's First Peoples.

In 2013 I attended the Commemoration of the 5th Anniversary of the National Apology in Melbourne. Members of Indigenous communities, school students and reconciliation supporters came together at Federation Square on the morning of Wednesday 13 February.

The Apology Speech was screened, students displayed Proud Race bollards and there was live music from the Kutcha Edwards Trio. It was a memorable morning to show support to members of the Stolen Generations.
