Australia once enshrined white superiority. These 10 trailblazers helped shift our attitudes to race
These ten change-makers, including Jessie Street and Charles Perkins, are just some of the key Australians who prodded the country to question its thinking on race.
ยป[T]he stories my father told me of his treatment, being kidnapped from the islands and working on the canefields as a slave, did influence my thinking [โฆ] I knew about the slave trade, and we always sang the slave songs in the eveningsยซ, Faith Bandler #WhiteAustralia #WhiteSugar #AntiRacism

How far back in time can you understand English?
An experiment in language change
If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.
It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.
