Oopse, the below was intended for Ellen, but of course, I'd be interested in knowing if anyone from the info-share group has any thought of attending.

At 7:00 p.m. on March 11, 2010, I will present a groundbreaking look at an important branch of the civil rights revolution of the 1960's and 1970's -- the disability rights movement. This movement is often overlooked, but it was truly a revolutionary effort.



The founders of that movement began the journey of an entire class of the American population up from utter powerlessness, and New York City was at the forefront of this battle. Yet the story of the New York City beginnings of the disability rights movement has never been publicly discussed, anywhere -- until now.



This talk is sponsored by the New York City Parks Department, and will take place at the Tony Dapolito Recreation Center, 3 Clarkson Street. This location is accessible by persons with disabilities.



Admission is free, but reservations are required. Please call (212) 408-0296, or email <mailto:artsculturefun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>artsculturefun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
