Disability History Exhibit
Here’s a dynamite 23-panel exhibit on disability history. It has toured the US. It has toured Europe. Why not your community? It’s perfect for conferences, meetings, or local organizations to display. Get the public on board with disability history and the new movement for disability rights.
