I Am Disabled and I Am Proud
"Polite society often tells us that we need to take the 'dis' out of disability, but maybe... just maybe, we should spend some time putting it back in.

It took me 35 years to respect and honor that truth. Others shouldn't have to wait that long..." Lawrence Carter-Long
