Today is the 39th Annual International yellow T-Shirt Day!
“Some friends and I started it in High School for a bit of fun, and we kept promoting it year after year by sending out press releases. Our peak year was 1984, when over 1200 radio stations around the world were running interviews with me, as well as newspapers and daytime television talk shows. It was pretty crazy!”
René Hübener, known as the Parkland Poet, says he and his friends have kept it alive by still doing annual interviews with a few media outlets, but plan on doing a much bigger push next year when Yellow T-Shirt Day turns 40.
How do you celebrate?
