?? **Celebrating Black History Month** ??
Join us in honoring the incredible contributions of African-Americans. Their resilience, creativity, and achievements inspire us all.
Here are a few notable African-Americans with disabilities:
1. Angel Love Miles: Born with Spina Bifida, Angel is an advocate for disability rights and has written extensively about the intersection of race, gender, and disability.
2. Muhammad Ali: The legendary boxer struggled with severe dyslexia, which impacted his academic performance but did not hinder his remarkable career and advocacy for literacy.
3. Harriet Tubman: Known for her work on the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman had severe epilepsy, which she developed after a traumatic head injury in childhood.
4. Haben Girma: The first deafblind graduate of Harvard Law School, Haben is a disability rights advocate and has been recognized for her work in promoting accessibility and inclusion.
Let's continue to advocate for inclusion and equality. #BlackHistoryMonth #IDD #InclusionMatters
