Open forum at West End Brisbane

Here are some pictures of some of the group that gathered in West End for the first of Open-Forum-Australia meetings. The evening was attended by aprox 35 people and the feedback so far is that we should hold the meetings again. It was heartening to be with a group of people willing to give time to consider the complex issues that we face as Aboriginal people and to engage in exploring together the things that can be done and the difficulties people face in confronting their own and others ignorance and racism. The evening was heartfelt and in amongst some tears and laughter a sense of hope was generated. A small seed that hopefully will grow. If we want change it needs all of us to make it a part of our daily lives . It will take all of us.
