http://abc.net.au/rn/musicshow It's 50 years since Charles Perkins, Jim Spiegelman and others set out on their 'freedom ride' around NSW. They found inequalities and segregation that many Australians would have only identified with the southern USA or South Africa.
Troy Cassar-Daley learned about all this by doing a school project, but it stayed with him- and it's become the title track to his latest album, Freedom Ride (Liberation 251). He sings it on The Music Show.
