Charles Perkins
Born in 1936
Charles was born in allice springs
Charles led the freedom rights case, played soccer. When he was younger he lived at a boys home. He had a rough childhood because the white spat on him , but this was not in the stolen generation. Charles started playing soccer for england. then when he came back to Australia he played for two Australian teams. He realised that the white lived in nice houses and the aboriginals all lived in tin sheds. Charles and Gary Williams both were trying to get everyone to know how racist the white were being to the aboriginal. the decision to organise a bus tour of western New South Wales worked they found out that the freedom was pretty bad for them.
his position on the protest brought him to have the position as a national Aboriginal leader and spokesman. he stayed the spokesman untill he died. he died in 2000. his work over the years was equivelent to two mens work. He is now well known in aboriginal tribes. That is a bit about charles perkins thankyou for reading.
