Australian Dictionary of Biography (online) 1 April 2022: (Charles Frederick (Fred) Maynard (1879-1946), Aboriginal activist, was born on 4 July 1879 at Hinton, New South Wales. His mother, a Worimi woman from the Port Stephens area, died soon after, and the family was separated. Fred and his brother Arthur were placed with a Protestant minister at Dungog. By 1911 Maynard had become a wharf labourer in Sydney and an active member of the Waterside Workers Federation of Australia. He was active against the New South Wales Aborigines Protection Board. In 1924 Maynard launched the Australian Aboriginal Progressive Association (AAPA); the Depression and police intimidation and threat undermined the AAPA’s ability to continue its campaigns into the 1930s, but it nevertheless left a lasting and potent legacy. After he married in 1928, Maynard gradually withdrew from public life; an accident on the docks made it difficult for him to work. He died of diabetes mellitus at Rydalmere on 9 September 1946. His grandson John Maynard is an eminent Aboriginal historian.)https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/maynard-charles-frederick-fred-11095
