July 21st marks the birthday of Robin McLaurin Williams,
beloved actor, comedian and philanthropist.
Despite a plethora of other television and movie roles, Mr. Williams has
most often been remembered in his role as the loveable alien, Mork. The rainbow suspenders, previously used as
part of Mr. Williams’ mime regalia, were an almost ever-present costume feature
for Mork and became part of the character’s persona.
No matter our individual reasons for wanting to honor and
celebrate Mr. Williams, or whatever other ways we wish to manifest our
appreciation and respect, we believe that this one symbol of whimsy, joy, hope
and even perhaps all of the many varied facets of Mr. Williams’ work and life, should
symbolize our love and remembrance for this remarkable human being on his
birthday.
Thus, we, the signers of this petition, wish to have Mr. Robin
Williams commemorated annually on July 21st, by the wearing of rainbow suspenders
and the creation of World Rainbow Suspenders Day.
Thank you.
I am going out to buy mine right now! Everyone should do this, for those you love and Robin.
