Noel Pearson will be speaking at the Speak Loud for Land Justice public
meeting in Melbourne on Thursday evening.
Speak Loud is a forum for indigenous people to put their views on land
rights and sovereignty issues. It has been initiated by the Yorta Yorta
Nation Aboriginal Corporation.
Other speakers include Monica Morgan (Yorta Yorta), Margaret Gardiner and
Marjorie Thorpe. Murrandoo Yanner and Michael Mansell were previously
advertised but have had to withdraw due to community commitments.
Speak Loud begins at 7pm on Thursday, December 9, at Storey Hall, RMIT,
Swanston St, city. The forum has been dedicated to the memory of the late
Ron Castan QC, who fought several keynote native title cases.
An exhibition of indigenous art is currently running at Storey Hall and
will be open to meeting-goers before and after the meeting. Refreshments
will be provided after the meeting for those who want to visit the
exhibition and continue the discussion.
The meeting is also endorsed by the Koori-Gubbah Club (Monash Uni), Trade
Unionists for Land Rights, Defenders of Native Title, Students for Land
Justice and Reconciliation (Melbourne Uni) and the RMIT Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Support and Liaison Unit.
