Many people have seen the iconic photograph of Gough Whitlam pouring a handful of red soil into the hands of Vincent Lingiari – a symbol of the legal transfer of Gurindji land back to the Gurindji people – and recognise this as a key moment in the ongoing land rights movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFreedom Day\u003c\/em\u003e delves into the events that led up to this moment and makes a rallying cry for the things that still need to change in its wake. Thomas Mayo co-authors this book with Rosie, Vincent Lingiari’s granddaughter, to bring this vital story to life.
