National Sorry Day

National Sorry Day is a day to encourage making amends for past grievances committed by the Australian government. In the 1950s and 60s, many indigenous children were taken from their families and put into foster homes so that they could be assimilated into white Australian society. These children are called the Stolen Generations, and National Sorry Day is dedicated to reconciliation between the government and the Stolen Generations, as well as anyone who has been affected by anti-aboriginal prejudices.
