General notes:
The article is a transcript of a speech by Gary Foley describing how he moved from Northern NSW to Redfern in Sydney where he became involved in the first Aboriginal Legal Service in Australia. He and other activists were inspired by the Black Panthers Party in the USA, the Black Power Movement, and local Indigenous activists. Attracted by the work of Bruce McGuinness (1939-2003) , Foley moved to Fitzroy, Melbourne, to participate in the Aboriginal Health Service, the education enterprise Koori Kollij, and other activism. Thereafter, Gary Foley focussed his work on Melbourne. (blurb from article)Victorian Historical Journal 96, Issue 1, June 2005
