Paul Longmore, who died on Monday, was one of the nation's leading scholars of disability history. But he first got national attention for an unscholarly act: He burned a copy of his first book.


That was back in 1988 and Longmore, then 42 and a visiting scholar at Stanford University, was trying to make a point about the bizarre system of work disincentives that keep many disabled people from taking jobs and, in his case, threatened not only his ability to work, but to live, too.


Longmore wrote and this is how he wrote his first book, The Invention of George Washington by holding a pen in his mouth, and using it to punch the keyboard. He'd contracted polio when he was 7, and was unable to use his hands. He also breathed with a ventilator at night and part of the day.


That ventilator was paid for with state and federal funding.


<snip>


His book Why I Burned My Book and Other Essays on Disability History challenged popular views of assisted suicide, uncovered the unknown history of an early disability protest movement during the Great Depression and looked at the stereotypes of disability found on television and in movies. (Longmore loved film and would have made a fine movie critic.)

Paul Longmore: San Francisco Scholar a Giant of the Disability Rights Movement (1947 - 2010)

The international disability rights movement lost a brilliant leader and great thinker on August 9, 2010 when Paul Longmore died unexpectedly at his home in San Francisco. Longmore, Professor of History and Director of the Institute on Disability at San Francisco State University was a thoughtful and visionary scholar, disability studies pioneer, fierce advocate and role model to many.


In its tribute to Paul, Not Dead Yet has posted a YouTube video of his talk about the disability rights movement at the ADA 20th Anniversary celebration in San Francisco last month. Paul got the greatest applause when he said the following:


Great leaders do not create great movements. Great movements give rise to great leaders. . . No movement can exist without in this case millions of ordinary men and women asserting themselves to demand dignity and their rights. So thats what our movement is all about. Thats our past. Thats our present. Thats our future.


Paul Longmore was both an activist and a scholar, and was generous with his time.
