The New York State Victim's Academy Presents Gary Wright and David Kaczynski

"Confronting Violence, Finding Hope"

In 1986 Gary Wright was nearly killed by one of Theodore Kaczynski's bombs.  After three surgeries, his physical recovery was nearly complete, but he continued to struggle with the emotional aftereffects of the trauma.  Eventually, Gary's deep faith led him down a path of healing.  When David Kaczynski contacted him in 1996 to apologize for the harm his brother had done, Gary not only accepted the apology but reached out to David with an open heart.  Over the years, the two have become close friends.  Gary publicly forgave Theodore at his sentencing in 1998.  Both David and Gary have shared their insights about healing in numerous media interviews and have addressed both academic conferences and victims' groups.
