#TeachDisabilityHistory Campaign Event
Easterseals Massachusetts is a nonprofit that works with people with disabilities to provide equal opportunities to live, learn, work, and play. Within the youth department, they are currently working on a campaign to #TeachDisabilityHistory. During this recording, you will hear from the young adults working on this campaign. They will share some of the work they have done to promote teaching disability history in schools, and everyone will play a game to test their knowledge of disability history. Committee members will also share insights from an earlier facilitated conversation on community building and Massachusetts disability history.
