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 Thursday, Oct. 19, as part of National Disability Employment Awareness Month. For information about the exhibit content, including PDF and html versions of the content, visit this link. Contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu) if you have questions about the exhibit.

We are in the book of Ephesians and will be going through Chapter 3 tonight (Wednesday) at Vespers. Come enjoy a sweet time of fellowship and worship with your fellow classmates and coworkers.

Hope to see you there!
