We, the Soldiers of Justice, Board of Directors and Members of the Center for Economic and Social Justice, on this 23rd day of July, 1995, do hereby extend our highest honor to
Norman G. Kurland
for his lifetime commitment, revolutionary fervor and courageous leadership in the cause of Economic and Social Justice.
From his work in the civil rights movement, to his labors to reform Federal Reserve policy, he has led the way toward recognition of the ultimate civil right—access to capital credit for acquiring productive assets.
The Honoree has played a unique role in the expanded ownership movement as a master teacher of justice, making visible the invisible structures that shape our lives. As an architect of social institutions, he has developed unique concepts and programs for economic empowerment of the propertyless citizens of the world.
Among his many accomplishments which we celebrate, he:
- Authored the first ESOP laws and designed innovative expanded ownership models in the U.S. and other countries.
- Conceived and orchestrated the formation of the 1986 Presidential Task Force on Project Economic Justice.
- Developed an Capital Homestead Act to enable all citizens to acquire individual equity stakes in the high technology frontier of the 21st Century.
With scholarly wisdom, the Honoree has communicated and refined the revolutionary ideas of Louis Kelso and William Ferree, adding his own insights in the areas of justice and central banking. His writings and speeches have helped shape a movement that is capturing the hearts and minds of people around the world. As a co-founder of CESJ, he exemplifies the spirit of Social Justice, working effectively with others, for others. We see in the results of his work the rebirth of the American Revolution in the Age of the Robot.
In recognition of his far-sighted vision, inspiring leadership and extraordinary persistence in the cause of Economic and Social Justice, CESJ’s Soldiers of Justice, Directors and Members do hereby bestow this first award of its kind on the Honoree, and pledge with him our loyal friendship and dedication to our common cause.
