It does indeed take courage given that whiteness is, I have found, a disturbing and perturbing topic, not only to white people but also, I believe, to people of colour.' (Extract)
1 Rita Cynthia Huggins 1921-1996 Lillian Holt , 1997 single work obituary (for Rita Cynthia Huggins )
— Appears in: Australian Aboriginal Studies , no. 1 1997; (p. 71-72.)

'Rita Cynthia Huggins was born in Carnarvon Gorge/Springsure, Queensland, on 10 August 1921. She died on 27 August 1996, in Brisbane. The fact that over a thousand people, both black and white, attended her funeral last August, in Brisbane, is testimony to her standing in the Aboriginal community and beyond. Rita Huggins was one of those people whom you never quite forgot. You could never say 'Rita who?' after meeting her. For she was a woman of presence, passion and dignity.'  (Introduction)
