[Commpsych] Write 'sorry' on your footpath

[Heather Gridley]

Something simple we can all do - sent to me by one our growing band of Indigenous psychologists.

Subject: Write 'sorry' on your footpath.

Hi All,
 
Finally....the time has been booked for the Australian Government to say "sorry" to the Stolen Generation. I know the Government is representative of all Australians when this apology is made on Wednesday at the opening of Parliament, but I think we all individually need to take this another step further.
 
Like "Eternity" was written on our footpaths I am suggesting that for Wednesday "sorry" be written on footpaths - everywhere. So buy yourself some chalk and on Wednesday morning when you walk out your door to go to wherever you go - take that short time to make an apology to the traditional owners of Australian that make up the Stolen Generation.
 
Don't just send this to five or 10 people - send it to every Australian you have in your address book and ask them to do the same.
 
Sorry,
