This 828 Movement Bracelet is more than just a bracelet; it provides hope. Unfortunately, educational inequality still exists in America. The 828 Movement is a non-profit that donates 100% of its net profits to underfunded urban schools in the United States.
According to the 828 Movement website, 828 represents several significant days in American/Black History:
August 28, 1833: Slavery was abolished in the UK which led to American abolition.
August 28, 1955: Emmett Till was brutally murdered which was a catalyst to the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.
August 28, 1963: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream Speech”.
August 28, 2005: Hurricane Katrina landed in Louisiana and the delayed response for relief impacted mainly black communities.
August 28, 2008: Barack Obama accepted the Democratic Nomination for President.
Each ring on the American-made 828 Movement Bracelets is symbolic:
• The Past: 13 metal rings
To remember the 13th amendment and lives lost
in the struggle to abolish slavery.
• The Present: Engraved ring for August 28th
To honor the date 8/28, when important events in the fight for equality line up in history.
• The Future: a single ring for hope
The pursuit for educational equality continues.
These 828 Movement bracelets come in a variety of colors and are a stylish way to support educational equality. This would be a meaningful gift for an educator or anyone else who appreciates the continual fight for justice in our country.
