About the Design of the “Swing for the Retarded” T-Shirt
On June 6, 1982, a charity event called “Swing for the R*tarded” was held in the United States to support people with intellectual disabilities. This gathering featured a musical performance with several well-known performers and a thrilling golf tournament with alluring prizes. Thanks to its significant attention and contributions, over a million dollars were raised for organizations assisting people with developmental impairments.
Although at the current time, the ‘r-word’ is considered offensive and criticized, back in the 1990s, it was a well-mannered synonymous with ‘disabled,’ referring only to people with intellectual disabilities. Hence, this commemorative shirt is a re-made product from the original one, from a time when the term ‘r-word’ still had a positive connotation, to honor the humanitarian spirit of the charity association.
If you resonate with the values and mission of this charitable organization, about a compassionate world where prejudice and bias have no place and where empathy with those in such conditions prevail, let this T-shirt be your tool to promote this positive message.
