style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 15px">The work consists of more than a
thousand pieces of cloth. On each appears written information that
originated from one of three sources. First, about 350 pieces
name deceased staff members and colleagues who worked at one time or
another with EI/OE/ICA during the past 50 years. Others identify
important past programs and projects --- RS-1, the Academy, and 24
Human Development Projects, etc. Second, several pieces highlight current
programs and supporters, e.g., Technology of Participation (ToP), Accelerate
77 and its advisory committee, names of donors, etc.
Third, 600+ pieces were created during fifty events that
occurred across the country and around the world to mark the
50<SUP>th</SUP> Anniversary. Participants at these events wrote
statements on strips of cloth to express their hopes and dreams,
or, as we like to say, "claim a promise," for the next fifty years.
The piece therefore includes symbolism of ICA's past, present,
and future.</SPAN></P>
