Black History Month, established by historian Carter G. Woodson, is a time to honor the legacy, resilience, and lasting contributions of Black individuals throughout history.

This February, Ability KC celebrates Black culture and recognizes extraordinary leaders whose impact helped shape our nation—some of whom also lived with disabilities:

• Thomas Wiggins – Blind from birth
• Harriet Tubman – Traumatic brain injury, Epilepsy
• Sojourner Truth – Hand injury
• Malcolm X – Dyslexia

As we reflect, we also acknowledge the work that continues today, breaking down barriers, amplifying voices, and advocating for a more equitable and accessible future for all.

Let’s honor their legacies and keep moving forward together.
