Synopsis

Barbara Crismani is the daughter of Joseph Leslie Murray (1900-1975) who was boxing champ of SA in 1926 known as The Black Panther in the ring. Barbara has initiated searches for her father’s home country and community with the help of SA Link Up but given the lack of written records and child removal policies of those times, it is possible Barbara may never experience the profound home country cultural and familial embrace and resultant closure. The deep cross generation cultural and emotional wounds of the government mandated stolen generation child removal may never be healed.
