IT's been more than a year since Wiradjuri woman Taylah Gray was the defendant in a Supreme Court case over the staging of Newcastle's Black Lives Matter rally, which drew about 1000 people to the city's streets.

"I think we've had more social awareness going around about the inequality that First Nations people are facing here, but I don't think much has come [from it]," Ms Gray told the Newcastle Herald during NAIDOC Week.
