John Maynard grew up the son of a famous jockey, went on to become a truck driver, a barman, and a builder’s labourer, but it was his work on a small family history project that would change his life forever.
Monday night on NITV, Living Black’s Karla Grant speaks to John Maynard about his life, his journey to become a well-renowned author, and to hear why John thinks the forgotten history of our people’s fight to protect country needs to be properly uncovered.
NITV’s Walkley Award winning current affairs program Living Black returns in 2022.
Hosted by presenter, producer, journalist and proud Western Arrernte woman Karla Grant, this year Living Black will continue to unearth the most important issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
