On January 26, 1938, as Sydney celebrated the 150th anniversary of the First Fleet's arrival, a small group of Aboriginal activists gathered in the city's Australian Hall to declare a Day of Mourning. This episode of The Story of Australia explores that landmark protest — the first national Aboriginal civil rights gathering — and the men and women who made it happen. We follow Jack Patten and William Ferguson, two Aboriginal leaders from different worlds, who put aside their differences to organise a conference that issued a stinging manifesto demanding full citizenship. We meet Pearl Gibbs, the Wiradjuri activist who played a crucial backstage role, and Douglas Nicholls, the pastor and athlete who would go on to become governor of South Australia. The episode unpacks the deep divisions within the Aboriginal community over strategy — whether to petition the Crown or ally with white labor — and the government's hostile response. It also traces the event's legacy, from the 1967 referendum to the modern movement for a Voice to Parliament. A pivotal moment in Australian history, little known outside the country, told with the detail it deserves. #DayOfMourning #JackPatten #WilliamFerguson #PearlGibbs #DouglasNicholls #AustralianHall #1938 #AboriginalRights #CivilRights #Sydney #150thAnniversary #FirstFleet #Citizenship #1967Referendum #VoiceToParliament #AustralianHistory #IndigenousAustralia #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
