Uncover the transformational journey of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, one of America's most influential leaders, who turned his personal struggles into a powerful force for change in disability advocacy. Kevin and Palmi Henry, your hosts, promise you'll gain an intimate understanding of how FDR's journey from a polio diagnosis to the presidency shaped public perceptions of disability. We explore the intriguing possibility that FDR may have battled Guillain-Barre syndrome, a theory that casts new light on historical narratives, and discuss how the media played a pivotal role in crafting his public image.
But the story doesn't end there. We venture beyond FDR's era to examine the evolution of disability rights, spotlighting the profound impact of laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act and the enduring influence of organizations such as the March of Dimes. We tackle the pressing issues of accessibility in legacy buildings and workplace discrimination, showcasing the resilience and determination of the disability community. Join us as we reflect on the past, celebrate the progress, and contemplate the future of equality and accessibility for all.
