From fighting to attend grade school after being described as a "fire hazard" to later winning a lawsuit against the New York City school system for denying her a teacher's license because of her paralysis, Judy's actions set a precedent that fundamentally improved rights for disabled people. As a young woman, Judy rolled her wheelchair through the doors of the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in San Francisco as a leader of the Section 504 Sit-In, the longest takeover of a governmental building in US history. Working with a community of over 150 disabled activists and allies, Judy successfully pressured the Carter administration to implement protections for disabled peoples' rights, sparking a national movement and leading to the creation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Candid, intimate, and irreverent, Judy Heumann's memoir about resistance to exclusion invites readers to imagine and make real a world in which we all belong.]]></description><link>https://samepagewcrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C482022</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagewcrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C482022</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Heumann, Judith E.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagewcrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/482022195</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>An Unrepentant Memoir of A Disability Rights Activist</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780807019382/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fighting for Yes!]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the 1970s an important disability rights law, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, was waiting to be signed.
