CAPE TOWN, SA (December 6, 2002)

David Clark uses barbed wire from the notorious prison on Robben Island where President Mandela was incarcerated for 18 years as inspiration to create the Global Human Rights logo.

“I thought it would be poignant to use barbed wire for the Global Human Rights logo because everyone understands it’s a symbol of oppression, and literally twist it into a shape of hope.” stated Clark.

The Global Human Rights logo is publicly unveiled for the first time in Cape Town by President Nelson Mandela, Oprah Winfrey and Archbishop Tutu on December 6, 2002 at a VIP Gala hosted by President Mandela and David Clark
