AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In the interest of our children and all future generations, in the interest of the survival of the human race we must all become a part of the solution and stop being part of the problem. It is now time for us to think for ourselves and make our own decisions, because we cannot afford to follow the blind and the ignorant any longer. We must think for ourselves and act accordingly.

You see it is now time for us, the people of this country, to take a long, critical look at ourselves and this society in which we live in. I think it is now necessary for me to point out a few cold hard facts that may assist you in identifying some needs for change, thus supporting my statement that we must make changes to improve this society in which we live.'

      Series: Frank Archibald Memorial Lectures 1986 series - publisher essay

      'The Frank Archibald Memorial Lecture is an annual event held in honour of Mr Frank Archibald, a revered Aboriginal community member of the Armidale area. Frank Archibald was renowned for his knowledge and interest in all issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, particularly education.

      'The Frank Archibald Memorial Lecture has been held as part of the University of New England’s Lecture Series since 1986 and is dedicated to Frank Archibald, his family and Aboriginal people of the New England region. The Lecture is presented by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander speakers who are leading professionals in fields such as education, law, social justice, government and the arts. When the University established the Lecture, its intention was to invite speakers to give public address on current issues which are important to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with an emphasis on education.

      'In 2011 the 25th anniversary of the Frank Archibald Memorial Lecture was commemorated through a presentation by the founding Director of Oorala Aboriginal Centre, Ms Lynette Riley, who had established this lecture series at the University in 1986.'
