Join us for part three of a five-part conversation series hosted by Derenda Lefevre of Open Your Eyes To Access (OYETA). These conversations will focus on centering disability stories, the history of disability in our communities, and provide opportunities for non-disabled people to learn about disability, ableism, and what it means to embrace accessibility and equity in our community spaces. Refreshments will be served and documentation for continuing education will be available upon request.

#3 Activism, Resistance, and Resilience: In conversation three we’ll explore major events in the Disability Rights Movement, celebrate the disabled leaders that led the way, challenged the societal view of people with disabilities, and pushed the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The Tallest Dwarf follows filmmaker Julie Wyman as she searches for her place in the little people community and unpacks dwarfism’s impact on her own family. Through intimate stories, creative collaborations, and archival history, the film delves into identity and medicine, asking whether society should change people or the structures that limit them.
