The Radical Power of Disability Rights Activism The disability rights movement has long been a powerful force for social change, with a history full of inspiring stories of courage and determination.
A pivotal moment in American civil rights history was the 504 sit in, which took place in 1977 at the San Francisco office of the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
This moment is now the subject of a new film, "Being Heumann," directed by Siân Heder.
