So its feb the 12 and we are on our way to the first town. There is a gathering of aboriginal people and we are doing a freedom ride to try and prevent discrimination against aboriginals. This freedom rides bus is full of indigenous and non indigenous  people that want to publicise and show people that black people are treated lesser than white people because of there skin tone. we are not aloud stuff like going to pools and clubs. on the side of the bus we have (SAFA) which stands for Student Action For Aboriginals. Here is a map of the towns we are going to stop at over the next two weeks. Really nervous about Moree because I've heard they are very racist but if Martin Luther King jr could have success in the USA I'm sure we can have it here.
