Description
This week there is no new episode. Last month we lost Judy Heumann. Judy was a lifelong disability rights activist, international leader in the disability community, and someone I always have and always will look up to. It’s not often that you get the opportunity to speak with your hero, but almost exactly a year ago, to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the 504 Sit Ins, I was able to do just that. I would not be the advocate I am today, nor the person I am today, if it wasn’t for Judy and having the opportunity to speak with her, learn from her, is something I will be forever grateful for. She changed the world for the better. I am re-releasing that conversation because her story is one that should be told, celebrated, and remembered. I am re-releasing our conversation to serve as a reminder that it is up to us, not just the disabled community, but all of us and future generations to carry on her legacy. May her memory be a blessing.
