There is no greater disability in society than the inability to see a person as more. — Robert M. Hensel
Disability justice challenges the idea that our worth as individuals has to do with our ability to perform as productive members of society. It insists that our worth is inherent and tied to the liberation of all beings. — The Body is Not an Apology
