Disability History Exhibit on display in library through Thursday
What was life in the past like for persons with developmental and other disabilities? The Disability History Exhibit is a 23-panel collage that traces 3,000 years of a seldom-told history.
From antiquity to the present, the exhibit brings viewers through an illustrated timeline that shows society’s attitudes and how they affect the lives of people with disabilities. Viewers experience powerful feelings as they notice similarities between ancient practices and modern stereotypes.
The Disability History Exhibit will be on display in the MLRC through this Thursday, Oct. 19, as part of National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
