From Victim to Victor November 15, 2012
Michael Lapsley was sent to South Africa in 1973 at the height of apartheid. He spoke out against racial segregation for decades, even after being exiled. As a result of his activism, he was sent a letter bomb which destroyed his hands and one eye. Then he began a new journey - from the edge of death to renewed life, from victim to victor. From June 2012.
