In the inaugural episode of The InclusionHub Podcast, we took you on a journey through the early days of the internet, which many people hoped would revolutionize disability rights and make it easy for people to enjoy the benefits of operating inside this burgeoning virtual world.

In this episode, we return to where it all began: the birth of the diverse, passionate, vibrant, and expansive disability rights movement. Through the eyes of one of the most famous disability and civil rights leaders in the world—Judith Heumann—you’ll learn how such basic liberties were never guaranteed, and that their expansion to those with disabilities was only achieved after people took the fight to the streets and halls of power.
