 erman Consulate in Melbourne on 6 December 1938.\nWhile world leadership w
 atched in silent disbelief to the events of Kristallnacht\,&nbsp\;Uncle Wi
 lliam Cooper\, the Secretary of the Australian Aborigines&rsquo\; League a
 nd an elder&nbsp\;of the Yorta Yorta\, led the only known private protest 
 against the Nazi regime.&nbsp\;At a time when Aboriginal and Torres Strait
  Islanders people were themselves denied citizenship and other basic human
  rights\, and where they were frequently subjected to appalling physical\,
  social and economic hardships\, he chose to stand for our people and our 
 future.&nbsp\;\nToday\, exactly 80 years later\, we seek to honour William
  Cooper&rsquo\;s memory by making a similar stand on behalf of his people 
 and their future.&nbsp\;We do this by calling on our elected leaders to wo
 rk together to ensure that our nations First People receive recognition in
