there please and again and by command died under the name of a white police officer. yeah. you don't get any gama can be in that moment. it became every black life. the 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 div george floyd gives his name to those nameless in his cries, we hear the cries of hundreds of years and the unknown dead and

a world away. i see all those cries and they sound so from the mrs. bought history. sounds like to us with bery you know i. * don't care why 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 the country in america

has been here before the rice riots of the 900 sixty's on the streets of los angeles. in the 1990 in ferguson, missouri, the added minneapolis today and the message is the same for black america, the land of the free has never felt truly afraid. ah, me. the wellspring of anger, of actually goes to a centrally unresolved question in the united states, which is that the core, the foundation of the country, which has been founded on slavery. and jennifer mag, reasons why supremacy tension we believe in like supremacy on to 90 for the black,

legal inferior grows press on the bus sharesa, santa rab henrich, calling from the y from the front supremacy law law, the land. and we've had over come quite from supreme blood for the inferior g, even the plan figure, who are the even one on the fire. we've heard george floyd's words here in australian prisons. they were david dunn, guy junior, his last words in 2015 before he died. in the hospital ward of sidney long bay prison, the the current of found lack of oxygen while he was restrained, was a contributing factor to his death. but it has taken the death of a black man in america to wake us up to what happens here.

the black people die here in custody and that the numbers keep rising and we failed to stop us. i don't believe actually the government have learned anything more than how to hide aboriginal death and cassi 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 various deaths in custody around the world that are going on the same celebration lobby would ever stop you think about it too. hard to hear, the slaver was set free play masses or mass as they became for angry kilo the blush, about 70 is from the whole town that tulsa, oklahoma and rosewood,

florida, the master 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 astray did not. we are ready. we are fighting. we are down friday. 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 come together against the common enemy. and 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 men are created. the most who say black lives matter is a movement we are importing from america. i know nothing of who we are. the ones who came out of the same black churches as jesse jackson and martin luther king aus was the church of the forsaken. and these men were our patron saints. to join 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'll tell you this when i left this country in 1048,

i didn't come here. one reason only one reason where i, when i'm, i don't know hong kong i matters on the timber to end up in paris on the speech. paris that's right. i was talking on the theory, enough thing learned could happen to me that already happened to me hear. you talk about making it as write it by yourself. you have to be able then to turn up all the untenable that you live. because once you turn your back on the society, you may dot, you may dot the me then flashes and stretched out more. and you are not the guy and still you fit the description because there is only one guy who is always a guy fitting the description. ah,

i think the white imagination has framed that conception of whiteness in a certain direction. and therefore, in order to keep itself segregated, superior in its narrative, it had to classify blacks as, as animals. and we see that language being use by presidents like reagan being used by ordinary citizens. being used to talk about michelle obama as 1st lady. so, you know, and i think people have passively taken that in and then believe it as fast, you know, so when we have somebody like president trump saying, you can tell these people anything and they'll believe it. he's not wrong.

how quickly this wound steals our innocence. i didn't get to discover the world through my eyes. i was the one discovered i was the one captured in the wide gaze and learned at school the ha, listen of life. i lived in a world where white lives mattered. and i was not watching me why i was an old school yard towards me, the laughing pointing the mocking the heads turning these little things to stay with you. once our eyes are opened to the world around us, we can never see the world in the same way again in i was 15,

but i learned another bush and no matter how close i got, i could never truly belong. one day i was asked in class to stand up and talk about myself to talk about my life. and i told them who i was. i told them where i was from. i told them about my family, about my parents. i told them about our history. as a walked out of the class, one of my friends turned to me and said, why do you have to always talk about that? and we came back into class after lunch and scrawled across the board. be kind to stand, need love to might seem like just a little thing. it might seem like something you can struggle of sitting here to die. why should that matter? why should that matter to me?

but you can never let go of those things. people not just wait or 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 it. the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with me

i will. i will driven by a dreamer shaped by those in

me i think we dare to ask me. ah, aboriginal people here are more every day were at war with the system war with the police were at war with statistics, but you want to just move on from the ah, jane and again story black community in australia lives. black pool and in the side of the police. as a young boy, kane, and lost his mother and his father. he drew up on the streets in a city. like so many others going to trumpet, went to juvenile detention, and ultimately to join. prostrate in may call us statistics.

we know those numbers. we have 3 percent of the population and the food is behind bars. keenan is not a statistic. he is real and his friends and his family are real and his pain is real. i come back to my community and all i see is pain. all i sees hunk flaunting memories where i used to play with my friends and my brothers, that i've lost where i used to sleep. but now my brothers are in prison serving shifting youth. but we never wanted to grow up to be drug addicts and criminals. we just wanted to be loved. we wanted our mom and dad to be home. we want to have food on the table and we want to be safe. and we spend the rest of our lives trying to

pick the pieces up and understand why we never had such a beginning like everybody else. and where do we fit in and how do we pick ourselves up and move on from all of t j g was 17. when he came off his bike and was impaled on a fence post died from his injuries me. the judge family believed he was being pursued by police at the time of the coroner rejected. man, one of the hottest i was 17 at the time and i was with him the night before. the incident happened.

me. thomas, he keeps days. sit fire to the streets of rates, so you can see it looked like a scene from los angeles. ah, to this day, the hickey family and the black community will not accept the coroner's finding that his death was an accident. ah, they still believe police pursuing. i still wanted inquiry reopened. he died in the very community that we're playing a kid. same straits, we walk as children, and hope for a better future. hope not to be poor when we grow on

me. chain and is haunted by the memory of his friend t j. and he works every day to try to keep young black kids out of jail. i'm more scared, scared that it's going to happen to my boys. i'm scared that my children are going to grow up in the country that think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. then there are other fellow friends in daycare. i see them being case by police. i see them in a still cry. i see them in an i don't prison cell and having don't want to visit them because they're my children and they're my blood. and that's my experience. i had police driving alongside of me on my way,

walking to high school in year. right. so my understanding of surveillance were attached to race. my understandings of police brutality of prisons really negative terminology attached to the idea of race rather than race being about unity race being about collective communities, race being about love, my earliest understandings of race. yeah, we're rather set up as violence due to racism. latoya rule never got to say good bye to her brother wayne fella morrison. cctv footage captured his last day in adelaide police hill where he was facing assault charges. i became unresponsive in a prison van. then died in hospital 3 days later 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 the 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 representation in federal parliament for generations, we, the 1st nations people has spoken truth to white power. 150 years ago.

every good. oh, straight. and today, he demands more than the white man's charity. he runs the right to me. still, there are no tricks. no voice people are often out of sight and out of mind. most of strange. i places like wisdom strategies kimberly region has some of the highest youth suicide rates anywhere in the world. like so many of the black communities, paperless, stressed to breaking point violence, drug and alcohol addiction, chronic poverty. these are the sad realities of lives under the weight of our history, but powerlessness christmas. and it is our people. indigenous people.

step up when astray area often looks away. they're really shoes and i have personal experiences of loss of families through suicide. and we learn to continue to believe in our selves in our strength, their resilience, our determination for change. and we can change, and we can bring others along to assist us to work with us around creating the reforms within the systems and structures that need to be informed by lived realities of people. but to also empower people to lead the change at the community level is a photo pass down in my family. rows of aboriginal girls take him to a home to be trained to be servants, to meet under a sign that red thing,
