BiographyHistory

Syd Jackson is a member of the Stolen Generations. He was removed from his family along with two sisters and sent to Roelands Mission while his sisters were sent elsewhere. Jackson became well known as a champion professional football player with the Carlton Football Club. In 1966 he was reunited with his sister, and met his father again in 1985.

Jackson's story was recorded by the National Library of Australia for the Bringing Them Home oral history project and appeared in the associated publication Many Voices: Reflections on experiences of Indigenous child separation, edited by Doreen Mellor and Anna Haebich (2002).
