Ref.: (LML) Righting Wrongs : Restoring Dignity
From: Deirdre Prins-Solani, South Africa
Dear LML readers,
I am pleased to present to you the much acclaimed presentation of Dr M. Deidre Prins-Solani at the International Leprosy Congress, Brussels, September 2013.
Dr. M. Deirdre Prins-Solani is an Independent Heritage and Cultural expert, member of IDEA and the International Coalition of Historic Sites of Exclusion and Resistance.
The presentation (see attached file) is called”: “Righting Wrongs : Restoring Dignity. Embracing Justice through Acts of Recognition”.
Some quotes from her presentation:
- “There will come a time when it will not be possible to have first - hand accounts – when voices of people who lived under much duress because of leprosy will no longer be heard. Now is the time to bear witness to these accounts and preserve them for future generations” Ymelda Beauchamp
- “One of the great values of oral history is its ability to amplify the voices of communities, movements or individuals by taking them outside, by breaking their sense of isolation and powerlessness by allowing their discourse to reach other people and communities” Allisandro Portelli
- “The identification of redressable injustice is not only what animates us to think about justice and injustice, it is also central to the theory of justice” Amartya Sen.
Kind regards,
Pieter AM Schreuder
