The Embracing Possibility Exhibit Ends, but the Journey Continues

On June 16th, the Embracing Possibility – Georgia’s Disability Justice Journey exhibit at the Tubman Museum in Macon, Georgia, ended its run. After a year of engaging conversations, collaborations, and community gatherings, this exhibit, which focused on what is possible for Georgians with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), concluded. Many groups worked together to make the exhibit happen. They included the Center on Human Development and Disability at the University of Georgia, the Georgia Advocacy Office, the Sangha Unity Network, Uniting for Change, the Center for Leadership in Disability at Georgia State University, Crimminz and Associates, and the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD).The Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) is driven by its Five Year Strategic Plan goals to improve services and supports for people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities (I/DD). The Council, charged with creating systems change for individuals with developmental disabilities and family members, will work through various advocacy and capacity building activities to build a more interdependent, self-sufficient, and integrated and included disability community across Georgia.This project was supported, in part by grant number 2001GASCDD-03, from the U.S. Administration for Community Living, Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, D.C. 20201.
