Archie Roach talks about the toddler in the video clip for 'Took the Children Away' (1990).
The boy is one of their foster children – Terrence, or Mr T – who, 30 years later, is now a man.
Family is a very important theme in Archie's life and work, and he also wrote a song for Terrence called 'Mr T', which appeared on Archie's Jamu Dreaming album (1994).
You can see Mr T in an excerpt of the video clip in this interview clip with Archie and Ruby Hunter.
This clip is taken from an exclusive interview with the NFSAin 2019.
