The ‘60s Civil Rights Movement inspired historically oppressed groups to seek equality. Their second-class citizens status prompted strong leaders who recognized the power of united forces to emerge among the disabilities community. Key efforts that benefited those living with various disabilities will be highlighted. Lectures, visual aids, film recommendations and open discussion will foster awareness of opportunities and laws that have led to independence and social inclusion of persons with disabilities of all ages. This is a 3-week course with classes on 6/4, 6/11 and 6/18.
