Forwarded from Christine Howes: SUNDAY MARCH 19th - COME AND MARCH IN SYDNEY St Patrick's Day is looming once again with a call to the Black Irish to come out in force for Sydney's annual march through the city's streets. Aaron Ross, one of the organisers, said the march was important because of the links with indigenous struggles. " Ireland and Australia are the only two countries where treaties were not signed between England and the people of the land. I believe that that has shaped every aspect our histories and cultures. " If people think back to the movie the Commitments, one of the characters says that the Irish are the 'blacks of Europe' ,". "In addition to any blackfella who has Irish ancestry, we want to extend the invitation to anyone who feels like a blackfella to join us in the march. " People with shame need not enquire." The Black Irish can be contacted by emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] or just turn up at the march. -- ********************************* Make the Hunger Site your homepage! http://www.thehungersite.com/index.html ********************************* ------------------------------------------------------- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
