What happens when a notorious past collides with a legacy of cultural defiance? This week on "Murders Close to Me," I share a story that hits incredibly close to home: the life of Gordon Syron, my grandmother's former partner, and one of Australia's most significant Aboriginal artists. Born in 1941, Gordon's path took a dramatic turn in 1972 with a murder conviction linked to an intense family land dispute – a case that became a powerful symbol of injustice with an all-white jury denying him fair representation.

You'll hear about his decade in the brutal Long Bay Gaol, where he unexpectedly transformed, teaching himself to paint and forging a powerful artistic voice. From his iconic "Judgment by His Peers" to his tireless work as an activist and educator, Gordon used his art as a fierce weapon against terra nullius and systemic racism.
