Proclamation of the Day of Mourning.

The Aborigines Progressive Association, ([1]) was established in 1937 by William Ferguson, Pearl Gibbs and Jack Patten in Dubbo, New South Wales.[2][3] Ferguson and Gibbs led a group in the western part of the state, while Patten assemble an alliance of activists in the north-east. Both wings of the APA were involved in political organisation, rallies, and protests in both Aboriginal communities and reserves and major NSW centres such as Sydney.[4]

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.[1] It was held at the Australian Hall building, Sydney.[4] The APA ceased to exist in 1944, but was revived in 1963-1966.[5]
