30th Anniversary of Bracelet Program!!

3/22/2015

Picture
We officially kicked off the Political Prisoners of South Africa Bracelet Program with a Press Conference on March 22, 1985, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  The picture to the left is a copy of the Michigan Daily article about the Press Conference which can also be found on this website under the “About" and  then "Media” tab.  

In 1985, I would have rolled on the floor laughing if someone said I would still be involved in the Bracelet Program 30 years later!!  One never knows where an idea or initiative will take you.  I am committed as ever to making sure the sacrifices made by the former political prisoners and their families are never forgotten.  

You can help by completing the short survey about your experience with the Bracelet Program.  The link to the survey is on the homepage.

As part of the anniversary celebration, I posted a message on Facebook asking folks to post a picture of themselves wearing their bracelet, or of their bracelet by itself.  I thought that would be a fitting collaborative way to celebrate.  All of you made the program a reality.  THANK YOU!!!
