December 5, 1955, marked the start of the 13-month Montgomery Bus Boycott. Sparked by Rosa Parks’ arrest, Dad led the MIA with faith in nonviolence, showing that collective courage can bend the arc toward justice.

Social progress is impossible without the full inclusion, participation, and leadership of Disabled people and persons with disabilities!

Let us celebrate all Disabled lives and acknowledge the current and ongoing barriers to access/ibility—while continuing to dismantle the system of ableism. #LCDC

#tdih 1955 Rosa Parks attended a mass meeting about the Emmett Till case. 💔

Four days later she refused to give up her seat on the bus.

Montgomery Bus Boycott was not just about bus segregation, but also the injustice in criminal justice system & much more. ⬇️

TONIGHT! This isn’t a one-week fix. Rebuilding—physically and emotionally—will take months, even years. And we need to be prepared for the long haul. This training is one small shift in making sure we support each other with empathy, skill, and intention—not just today, but for as long as it takes.

#OTD in 1961, the first Freedom Riders began their journey to expose the brutal reality of segregation. Their nonviolent resistance sparked a national reckoning.

Today, we are reminded that change often comes from ordinary people with extraordinary courage.

Access provides the possibility of inclusive spaces where diverse needs and interests are reflected and met. Access fosters critical thinking and different types of literacy development, such as media, financial, cultural, reading, and more.

#StPatricksDay #tdih Did you know that during the first winter of famine, 1846-47, as perhaps 400,000 Irish peasants starved, landlords exported grain, cattle, pigs, flour, eggs, poultry — food that could have prevented those deaths. #TeachOutsideTextbook
