Jack Charles[edit]
Jack Charles was an Aboriginal [1] Australian actor, author and activist on a number of social issues. Removed from his mother Blanche and placed in the Box Hill Boys' Home, he survived "the second-most vicious Salvation Army home in the state" to become one of Australia's first Aboriginal stage actors.
Attitude to Christianity[edit]
Jack Charles was raised by the notoriously devout Salvation Army: later in life, he recalled that a Salvation Army member had asked the children from the Boys Home "Wouldn't you like to be the donkey carrying Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday?".
