Enabling Lives

Enabling Lives provides a look at the disability civil rights movement through an intimate portrayal of the lives of several of its key leaders. Each chapter is an authorized biography of such prominent figures as Frank Bowe, Tony Coelho, Justin Dart, Judy Heumann, Evan Kemp, and Harold Russell. Each has provided countless hours of interviews, recollections and "war stories," helping to create a legacy that will be carried on by the current and future leaders of the movement to provide an accurate historical record of key moments in the development of civil rights for individuals with disabilities.
