EveryBody: An Artifact History of Disability in America - 0 views

disability history

shared by Roger Holt on 02 Jul 13 - No Cached
  • Many stories and events related to people with disabilities never make it into the history books or shared public memories. Familiar concepts and events such as citizenship, work, and wars become more complicated, challenge our assumptions about what counts as history, and transform our connection with each other when viewed from the historical perspective of people with disabilities, America’s largest minority. Knowing these histories deepens understanding of the American experience and reveals how complicated history really is. In addition, when history comes through artifacts, distinct themes emerge—for example, the significance of place, relationships, and technology—that are less apparent when only books and words are used.

shared by Roger Holt on 25 May 10 - Cached
  • This project explores the life stories of thirteen leaders in the self-advocacy movement and their perspectives on key issues and leadership challenges. Part of the broader disability rights movement, the self-advocacy movement is unique in that it has been led and informed by the individual and collective experiences of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Despite its widespread existence nationwide and internationally, few works have explored the rich history, culture, and significance of the self-advocacy movement. To help fill this void, Joe Caldwell, Ph.D., Department of Disability and Human Development, University of Illinois at Chicago, undertook this life history project and donated transcripts to The Bancroft Library for its Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement collection.

documentary disability history disability rights

shared by Roger Holt on 11 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • Lives Worth Living is both an historical documentary about the Disability Rights Movement and a biography about one man's struggle to survive. Charismatic leaders of the movement narrate the story of a long, hard, and successful drive for civil rights — a drive that brought together a once fragmented population into a powerful coalition that created some of the most far reaching civil rights legislation in our nation's history. People with disabilities are one of the largest of any minority within our nation, and this is the first television history on the subject. It is a window into a world inhabited by people with an unwavering determination to live their lives like anyone else, and a passage into the past where millions of people lived without access to schools, apartment buildings, public transportation, etc. — a status quo today's generation cannot imagine.

7 Disabled People Making History Through Visibility | Care2 Causes - 0 views

shared by Roger Holt on 31 Dec 12 - No Cached
  • Disability is often treated as something that should be hidden away, an object of secrets and shame. When it is visible, it’s unfortunately common to see it handled as the source of pity porn; disability is presented as something tragic that is supposed to evoke pity and sorrow. Here are seven notable people bucking the trend when it comes to disability and visibility — they may be disabled, but it’s not the sum total of who they are, and they’ve got way too much on their plates to have time for pity parties.
