The Robert Sundance Story
The Robert Sundance story demonstrates that one man, notably one from the fringes of society, can change "the system." Robert was an American Indian from the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota who was introduced to alcohol at an early age. After spending nearly twenty-five years on skid rows across the American west, drunk, homeless, stricken over 250 times with DTs (Delirium Tremens), and illegally arrested nearly 500 times, Sundance decided to reform the system that unjustifiably incarcerated homeless street alcoholics.
Alcohol killed most of his drinking friends and counterparts, and it certainly could have killed him. His eventual "Sundance Court Case" led to radical reform of the process of arrest and conviction of public inebriates, and it helped create the process of alcoholic rehabilitation. No other single individual had done more to improve the American system of justice in regard to public Alcoholism.
