Disability Rights Movement

People with disabilities have faced and still face great struggle and inequality. This volume explores the ways in which people with disabilities have fought for their right to equal access, equal opportunities, and equal treatment. Key figures and events are highlighted to give readers a well-rounded sense of the movement. Photographs and primary sources bring the equality movement into sharp focus. Readers are challenged to think about what could be changed now and in the future to help people with disabilities live a fair life, in a world that is just as much theirs as it is anyone else's.
