A Brief But Spectacular take on the disability rights movement

Since childhood, Judy Heumann has faced ableism — institutionally, socially, and personally.

After a lifetime of activism, she is finally seeing a shift in how people with disabilities are viewed and treated. She gives us her Brief But Spectacular on the disability rights movement.
