Event description: 

Join DiversAbility at Yale and the Working Women’s Network for a discussion with Judith Heumann about her memoir: Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist. 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.
