AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The National Black Theatre in Redfern was set up by a small group of political activists in 1971 with Bob Maza at the helm. Its genesis was in street theatre performances alongside land rights marches, later developing into Black Theatre with its first formal production 'Basically Black' at Nimrod Theatre in 1973.'

'The National Black Theatre movement formed at a very crucial time in Australian political history culminating with the establishment of a number of significant Aboriginal organisations.'
