Civil rights were fought for beyond protests and sit-ins. Barbara
Jordan was the first Black Texan in Congress. Jordan promoted women’s rights,
supported the Equal Rights Amendment, and more. She had multiple sclerosis and used a cane to aid in her mobility. #BHM

Did you know During the 504 protests of the 70s, which lead the way to the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Black Panther Party provided hot meals & assistance to the protestors in solidarity.#BlackHistoryMonth
Leroy Moore realized early on that people didn’t understand the scope and impact black disabled activists had during the civil rights movement, so he authored books such as “Black Disabled Art History 101” and “Black Disabled Ancestors" to share those stories. #BlackHistoryMonth
#BlackHistoryMonth can be an invitation to reflect on how the past impacts the present. That is why it is so important to ensure that parts of Black history aren’t lost, especially when it comes to black leaders with disabilities. Who aren't we hearing enough about?

Be part of the global #GivingTuesday movement that has a local impact. A gift to support Easterseals transportation services will help our transportation services recover from recent thefts of the catalytic converters for much of our fleet. https://t.co/qeDHIDlXPe
This #GivingTuesday, please consider supporting Easterseals transportation services. Recent thefts of multiple catalytic convertors have created increased challenges in transporting our students. Your support will make a difference. https://t.co/qeDHIDlXPe
@JPaulOnAir@6abc Thanks for sharing! These unfortunate actions create challenges in our efforts to provide transportation to children with disabilities that attend our programs.
The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act was a triumph for the disability community and those who fought alongside them. At Easterseals, we pledge to continue this progress toward full equity, inclusion, and access, and we hope you will too. https://t.co/KLgobb9JJo
