Judy Heumann Reads An Excerpt From Her Memoir "Being Heumann"

On Saturday, March 4, Judy Heumann, a legendary changemaker and advocate for disability rights, passed away after a brief time in the hospital. Judy's website shared the news of her passing and highlights of her life's work: "Judy was at the forefront of major disability rights demonstrations, helped spearhead the passage of disability rights legislation, founded national and international disability advocacy organizations, held senior federal government positions, co-authored her memoir, Being Heumann, and its Young Adult version, Rolling Warrior, and was featured in the Oscar-nominated documentary film, Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution."
Judy was fighting for disability inclusion right until the end. Just a few weeks ago, she did a webinar with RespectAbility to kick off Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion Month. This is an excerpt from that webinar in which Judy read a passage from "Being Heumann." You can watch the full webinar here: www.respectability.org/2023/0...
We mourn Judy's passing, and keep her family, friends, and the rest of the disability community in our thoughts. We won't stop until the world she envisioned becomes a reality. May her memory be a blessing.
