Thanks For Being Here - Mary's Homage to Judy Heumann

from Kelly Corrigan Wonders · host Kelly Corrigan

Listener Mary Plisco watched a documentary about a summer camp from the 1970s and came away with a new hero — a woman she'd somehow never heard of, despite a career spent doing work this hero made possible. This one is a letter to Judy Heumann, the so-called mother of the disability rights movement, and a reminder that some of the most consequential people in history did their work quietly enough that you have to go looking for them. The documentary mentioned in this episode is Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution. . https://cripcamp.com/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
