Black History Month is here β a time to share stories of Black activism, excellence, and everyday life through history.
This year, weβre sharing the impact of Johnnie Ann Lacy, an activist with polio who was a great advocate for independent living for those with disabilities.
Johnnie helped found the first Center for Independent Living in the United States, which sparked a movement of resource centers that help people with disabilities live in their communities.
