State Library of Queensland invites members of the Torres Strait Islander community to celebrate the Legacy: Reflections on Mabo exhibition and acknowledge the remarkable life, politics, activism, and legacy of Eddie “Koiki” Mabo. This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the landmark decision which recognized in Australian law for the first time the right of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to their lands.

About National Reconciliation Week
National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
UQ will be holding a number of events and activations from 27 May-3 June to commemorate National Reconciliation Week.
