In 1966, over 200 Aboriginal people, led by Vincent Lingiari, walked off Wave Hill Cattle Station in the Northern Territory, advocating for equal pay and land rights. “Freedom Day,” a poignant non-fiction picture book, immortalizes this historic event. Illustrated beautifully, it captures the Gurindji people’s struggle. Co-authored by Thomas Mayor and Rosie, Lingiaris granddaughter, the book echoes the power of unified voices for change. Through close consultation with the Lingiari family, it delves into events preceding the iconic transfer of Gurindji land, serving as a rallying cry for ongoing transformation in the land rights movement.
