                        Charles Frederick 'Fred' Maynard (1879-1946)

Turning Points


            exposed to a cruel and harsh experience with a Christian Minister at Dungog.

           eventually escaped the Minister but had been armed with an education.
           
          work on the docks in Sydney as a wharf labourer.










Achievements

          met legendary African American boxing champion Jack Johnson in 1907
           
          through contact with visiting international black merchant seamen from the US,

         injustices inflicted upon the Aboriginal population. 

        despite the passage of over nine decades, remain as significant as when he penned them.
