Justice for All

The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) has a “Justice for All” blog that examines civil rights from a disability perspective. Of course civil rights are for everyone and Lo and Behold, “everyone” belongs among people with disabilities at one time or another. A “disability” perspective on civil rights speaks to issues of race, gender and sexual orientation, aging, veterans affairs, medical care, education, economic life, even matters of family and leisure. Our own recent post on inequalities in higher education has been reprinted at the JFA blog and we are pleased to have been invited aboard.
