Jack Patten was an aboriginal activist and was also a journalist but his main job was an activist. He was the eldest of his 6 siblings. He won a scholarship to the navy but the navy found out he was aboriginal and rejected him. He was the president of the Aboriginal Progressive Association.

Jack patten was born in Cummeragunja, NSW and lived in his home town for years of his youth. He was educated at Tumbarumba and West Wyalong which were public schools. He was not part of the stolen generation so he grew up with his parents.

Jack Patten was born on 27 march 1905 and died 12 October 1957. His first campaign was 1939 explaining to a big crowd about how aboriginals were treated. In 1938 he was a key organiser in the day of mourning in Sydney on Australia Day. In 1939 he was arrested because he made a speech leading to 300 aboriginals walking of the reserve. In 1940 he joined the army and served throughout the war but in 1957 he died in a road accident in Melbourne.

Jack Patten did recieve education at West Wyalong and Tumbarumba. He was taken to jail because he made a speech to 300 aboriginals leading them to leave the reserve because of the treatment by the cruel manager of the reserve.

6.

Jack Patten had many special skills. He was a great debater and public speaker. He was able to organise a whole protest and was a very experienced organiser. "Go with a clear, open and accepting spirit and the country will not treat you badly" this is exactly how Jack Patten thought.

7.

I think Jack Patten would be admired in today's world because he was a very good public speaker and debater. He was also a member of parliament and stood up for what he believed in.
