9:33 am
like a man died under the name of a wife, the lease officer. yeah. you don't get any n v in that moment. they became every blank life they captured on video was every person enslaved. every person in chains. every person who lived under the wit, every person lynched from a tree, ordered to the back of the bus every day unless the faceless person was told their lives did not matter. the diff, george floyd gives he's name to those nameless in his cries, we hear the cries of hundreds of years and the unknown dead and a world way as i was cross. and they sound so from mrs. barr
9:34 am
history. sounds like to us with child breach. i don't even really know why they're on the. * camera watch, you watch that video and i dare you not to be angry. the. you watch a video of a police officer thumping the life of a man with his knee on his net for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. and excruciating. and when people see that video, they don't see george floyd's life being snuffed out. you know, they see actually the centuries of brutality and racism in this country in america that has been here before the rice riots of the 19 sixty's

9:36 am
she sounded mother grabbed rick color from the rear wife and the fro, supremacy of the law, the land. and we've had overcome white filling the frame black for the inferior even the plan for yahoo, or even one. or if there was no we've heard george floyd's words here in australian prisons. they were david don, guy junior's last words in 2015 before he died, the hospital ward of sidney's long bay prison. oh, the current found lack of oxygen while he was restrained, was a contributing factor to his death. but it is taken the death of a black man in america to wake us up to what happens here.
9:37 am
the black people die here in custody. and that the numbers keep rising and we failed to stop us. i i don't believe actually the government have learned anything more than how to hide aboriginal death in custody from the world. and that's what we're trying to expose here. we need to expose globally what's happening here in australia because we resonate with people like george floyd, we resonate with those families. we resonate with, you know, various tests in custody around the world that are going on same solar, a levy with every stop you think about it to enforce here the slavery was sent free play masses, or part time masses they became brain grew kilo fact, the black about 70 is from around the whole town, the tulsa, oklahoma, and rosewood, florida,
9:38 am
the mascot flash alive me . when i see black america, i see part of myself. when i was growing up, black america spoke to me when white a straight yet did not. we our breath, we are fighting. we are down driving. we are denied not only level, right, but even human run. totally only way we're going to get some of the pricing right away from our side, so must have come together against the common enemy. the black america told me to dream, i have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. we hold these truths to be self evident that all
9:39 am
men are created. the most said, black lives matter is a movement we are importing from america. i know nothing of who we are. the one they knew i came out of the same black churches as jesse jackson and martin luther king aus with the church of the forsaken. and these men were our patron saints turned to him from black america. i learned how to speak back to whiteness, matters the way we could to trade on color or religion or this. there are other ways of connecting ben. i tell you that when i left this country in 1048 other than one
9:40 am

9:44 am
but you can never let go. of those things. people know, just wait a hurt you they know just how to charity, what you will place in the world is and what the price of belonging really is just shut up. just go along. don't talk about this is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer type relation, community. are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is truth? was his faith in the world corrupted. you need to defend

in september 2016. a corranio in question is ongoing. but like so many other deaths in custody. for latoya and her family, there are more questions than answers. what happened in our final moments during one's last breath? there's so many questions. why in the 1st instance, did they have to detain wayne, what happened in the van? why wasn't there surveillance in the van? why is it that the officers actually refused initially, police entrance and investigated entrance to take their statements that were, i believe, not released until months and years later, you know, they, there's so many questions about what really happened to wayne. oh, there was, there's representation in federal parliament for generations. we, the 1st nations people has spoken truth to white power. 150 years ago.
