The Aborigines Progressive Association was founded on 27 June 1937 by William Ferguson. The aims of the organisation were full citizenship rights for Aborigines, parliamentary representation for Aborigines as a group, and abolition of the Aborigines Protection Board. From March 1938 The Australian Abo Call: The Voice of the Aborigines was published as the official journal of the Aborigines Progressive Association.
