Notes

  • Quote from Aunty Joyce: 'Education is such an important issue to us. To me, it's a tool that makes other things possible. If you don't have education you can't get a job, it involves your health and if your health is no good and you don't get decent housing - it just gets worse.' Steppin' Out and Speakin' Up. (2003) p 155.
