Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

A story of fighting to belong in a world that wasn't built for all of us and of one woman's activism - from the streets of Brooklyn and San Francisco to inside the halls of Washington - Being Heumann recounts Judy Heumann's lifelong battle to achieve respect, acceptance and inclusion in society.

Paralyzed from polio at 18 months, Judy Heumann began her struggle for equality early in life. From fighting to attend grade school after being described as a 'fire hazard' to later winning a lawsuit against the New York City school system for denying her a teacher's license, to leading the section 504 sit-in that led to the creation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Judy's actions set a precedent that fundamentally improved rights for disabled people around the globe.

Candid, intimate and irreverent, Judy Heumann's memoir about resistance to exclusion invites readers to imagine and make real a world in which we all belong.

the reading prefomance was perfect.
I was expecting a more rounded experience, the writer focuses on the civil rights movement and how they managed to protest to get the laws changed and applied.
I felt it was a little bit too repetitive in the political details however it is truly an important part of history nonetheless. I was just hoping for more I guess.

more on the political side

Judy and her co-activists are amazing humans. A joy to hear about what they achieved from a behind the scenes point of view.
