One of the most unique braille systems wasn’t for reading. Decapoint (Raphigraphy) was created by Louis Braille so that blind people could write to the sighted.

How do societies remember those once hidden behind institutional walls? The Swedish podcast "Vipeholmsanstalten" reconstructs the world of neglect, coercion and medical experimentation in one of Sweden’s largest institutions for intellectually disabled people.
Anna Derksen explores how the podcast produces historical knowledge as a form of mediated memory 👇

Happy Anniversary to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 - the first federal civil rights protection for people with disabilities.
It's a great time to watch Crip Camp which is available for free on YouTube:

Here's a write up of the history around the 504 sit in that got it actually enforced:

It doesn't get taught in schools much but it's vital history. Check it out.
Stacey Park Milbern, a disability justice icon, will appear on a U.S. quarter. Love this.

Interesting event at @fiveleavesbookshop on 31 July with Rachel Charlton-Dailey discussing her book on the history of British disability activism https://fiveleavesbookshop.co.uk/events/ramping-up-rights-disability-activism/
Pioneering disability rights advocate Helen Keller was born on this day in 1880. An inspiration to many, her legacy is extensive. We're pleased to offer powerful tools for teaching with Crip Camp about Disability Rights and the contemporary Disability Rights activists who picked up her torch.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a "direct final rule" that would eliminate the requirement that new buildings constructed with federal funds must be accessible to people with disabilities. This move would weaken the civil rights protections guaranteed by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
We want to recommend an outstanding resource for teaching about the 504 Regulations: Crip Camp. 1/2

Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution follows a group of disabled teens as they become historic disability rights activists.
Crip Camp chronicles decades of disability activism and the fight for disability justice. The film includes the 1973 504 Sit-in, where people with disabilities and the disability community occupied US federal building to push for groundbreaking disability rights legislation. It also highlights the 1990 protests in support of the Americans with Disabilities Act, one of the most stirring scenes imaginable—disabled activists pulling themselves up the Capitol steps in what became known as the “Capitol Crawl.” No overview of US protest history is complete without Crip Camp. 6/n
