Summary
Poster titled 'Pay the Rent' promoting Aboriginal Land Rights. It features a photograph of the 'Day of Mourning and Protest' conference taken in 1938. The conference took place as the nation celebrated the 150 year anniversary of the foundation of New South Wales. It comprised a congress of Indigenous peoples from across Australia, who gathered at Sydney's Australian Hall, the first of a number of venues, to demand equality. Led by William Cooper, Jack Patten and William Ferguson, the congress continues to inspire generations of Indigenous activists to fight for their people's rights.
