Timeline

1951

Sally Jane Morgan (née Milroy; born 1951) is an Australian Aboriginal author, dramatist, and artist.

Her works are on display in numerous private and public collections in Australia and around the world.

Morgan was born in Perth, Western Australia in 1951 as the eldest of five children.

She was raised by her mother Gladys and her maternal grandmother Daisy.

Her mother, a member of the Bailgu people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia, grew up in the Parkerville Children's Home as part of the Stolen Generations.

Her father, William, a plumber by trade, died after a long-term battle with post-war experience post-traumatic stress disorder.

Of her siblings, Jill Milroy is an academic, Helen Milroy is a child psychiatrist who was the first indigenous Australian to become a medical doctor, David is a playwright, and William has worked as a senior public servant.

As a child, Morgan became aware that she was different from other children at her school because of her non-white physical appearance, and was frequently questioned by other students about her family background.

Her mother never told her that she was Aboriginal, saying instead that she was of Indian-Bangladeshi descent.

She understood from her mother that her ancestors were from the Indian sub-continent.

But, when she was 15, she learned that she and her siblings were actually of Aboriginal descent.

After finishing school, she worked as a clerk in a government department, had a period of unemployment, then obtained a job as a laboratory assistant.

Sally Morgan's second book, Wanamurraganya, was a biography of her grandfather.

She has received several awards: My Place won the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission humanitarian award in 1987, the Western Australia Week literary award for non-fiction in 1988, and the 1990 Order of Australia Book Prize.

1993
