A memory from a long time ago about how Sister Rosa became part of the lives of young Aboriginal children in Australia - as mentioned, Nevilles had the song Sister Rosa which my children and I used to sing some years ago on the way back to our belonging country. The kids in the community liked the song so much they learnt it along with the story of what it was about. That song was passed around and Sister Rosa became part of our struggle as well. In the prisons this Tuesday Indigenous people here will stop everything for a minute and remember what can be done and what has been done. Inequality demeans us all - we have many people who tell us this, Sister Rosa being one. "I did not know her but her being is written on my skin".
