Aborigines Progressive Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aborigines Progressive Association, or APA, was a body established in the 1920s by Jack Patten in New South Wales to lobby government for basic human rights for Australian Aborigines. Activist Pearl Gibbs was also a member.
In 1938 the APA organised the Day of Mourning on Australia Day of that year to protest the lack of basic human rights available to Aborigines.
