🏫 Black Community School, Townsville

The Black Community School was a school founded in 1973 by land rights activist Eddie Koiki Mabo and his friend Burnum Burnum, in Townsville, Australia, for the education of local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. Established primarily as an alternative to the State education system, the school aimed to provide a program better suited to Indigenous children's needs, and which would better reflect their culture.
