AHEAD/CAPED Memorial and Teach-In in Honor of the Life of Judy Heumann
Join the Disability Services Office and the Deaf Blind Support Committee (DBSC) for a live viewing of a free and open webinar honoring the life of formidable disability rights activist Judith “Judy” Heumann, who just passed away on March 4, 2023. Judy is widely regarded as “the Mother of Disability Rights” and her direct activism and political leadership were integral in the passage of regulations Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act (the US’s first disability discrimination law) as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act.
This webinar is hosted by the national Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) and CAPED, its California chapter. ASL and captioning will be available.
