61 million adults in the United States have a disability-more than a quarter of the population. Yet disability is often an afterthought in conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Ben Mattlin, journalist and author of Disability Pride: Dispatches from a Post-ADA World, offers a much-needed primer on critical topics like the internal diversity of the disability community, its representation and misrepresentation in the media, and its history fighting for legal and social justice.
Mattlin joined in conversation with Professor Kenji Yoshino, Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law and Director of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, to discuss how individuals, organizations, and governments can get beyond the minimum standards in the Americans with Disabilities Act to achieve true acceptance and justice for the disability community.
This event was part of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging speaker series and is cosponsored by the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Center and the Disability Allied Law Students Association (DALSA).
