Tuesday 6 October 2020, 05:45 PM (AEDT) Archie Roach AM, music legend and Stolen Generations survivor, is one of Australia’s most powerful songwriters and storytellers. His deeply personal song stories and more recently his books, Tell Me Why and Took the Children Away, shed light on the devastating government policies that still impact thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their families. The Archie Roach Stolen Generations resources were created during COVID-19 by Culture Is Life, in collaboration with the Archie Roach Foundation, to honour the 30th anniversary of Took the Children Away from Uncle Archie’s multi-award-winning 1990 debut album Charcoal Lane.
