It took radical action to make the federal government care about the rights of Americans with disabilities, but activists like Judith Heumann were up to the challenge.
About Drunk History:
Based on the popular web series, Drunk History is the liquored-up narration of our nation's history. Host Derek Waters, along with an ever-changing cast of actors and comedians, travels across the country to present the rich tales that every city in this land has to offer. Booze helps bring out the truth. It's just that sometimes the truth is a little incoherent.

@Sir Festus "people think everything is fine now and all the fights have been won" No one said that or says that. No one here is even close to implying that just because theyre enjoying wins where they get them, as small as they may seem to be. All doom, and no celebration makes for a dead morale.

Yeah well as someone in a wheelchair, we have a long way to go. I constantly have problems being able to use bathrooms in public places, I see businesses and even medical facilities that aren’t really handicap accessible. If I can’t actually get my chair into your ‘accessible’ stall then it isn’t. That happens to me all the time. In this day and age why aren’t there more automatic doors??? Why??? Why do bathroom doors weigh so damn much??? Most of the time my husband has to hold open doors for me or random strangers. There are many stores and restaurants in my town that I can’t access. The handicapped parking is not enough is I can’t enter the building what good does parking do??? I think all architects should be required to spend a week trying to use a wheelchair in public buildings before they can graduate. You have no idea.

@slowbeatseething 4 года назад

Yes. I was thinking the same thing. That this is great, but what's happened since? There are so many problems still even when it comes to having basic needs met. My fiance has CP and her number one complaint about going to the doctor or the dentist is that she is unable to get onto exam tables. How is she supposed to take optimal care of her health if the facilities available to her are not equipped to serve her? The last time she went she felt so dehumanized by the experience and now faces panic attacks at the thought of it happening again.

@cbpd89 4 года назад

I have only the smallest idea of what you have to deal with, which is crap you should not have to deal with. If we can't make architects and city planners try to get around in a wheelchair for a week, next step is a stroller laden with 100 lbs worth of stuff so they can't lift it out of any sticky situations. I am so freaking sick of seeing things I can't get my stroller around easily because I know that if it's hard for me to manage it's near impossible for a wheelchair to manage.

YASSSS!!!! I'm non-disabled, but I work with people that sometimes need a wheelchair or other devices and It's CRAZY how unaccessible this country still is.

@thevampirefrog06 3 года назад

@@slowbeatseething I work in a dental office and so many people stop the "is my office accessible" talk with "can you get a wheelchair into the office." That's not good enough! It's useless if people can't actually get into the chair. We can't say we're accessible if that's not the case.

I took care of two relatives that had to use wheelchairs, and it definitely wasn't easy to transport them around in the first place, but I can't imagine doing it all without things like ramps to go in and out of buildings, extra large bathroom stalls with rails on the walls, the specialized elevators, etc .

As someone with a disability (visual impairment), I feel bad for only having just learned about the 504 Protests a few months ago. It wasn't taught at all in school; if anything, the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act got only a passing mention in my AP U.S. history book. Kids need to learn about this the same way they learn about the more well-known civil rights movements. Thank you, "Drunk History", for featuring this on your show, and for casting actors with disabilities.

There is a library in my city that has no ramp or elevator and they wont make it handicapped accessible because it's considered a historic building.

Judy Heumann went on to become one of the biggest advocates for people with disabilities of our time! She's still alive, and just put out an autobiography. She also features in the documentary "Crip Camp" on Netflix which talks about this as well as many other aspects of the community at the time. Side note - I'm visually impaired. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

"Why would you want to be on the side of history that categorizes people rather than the side of history that's, like, liberating..." Exactly that.

Yes!!! Love seeing Zach Anner in a drunk history video :)) fucking rocks my world. Also when I was in grade school my 504 plan saved my ass. Got good grades and went to college. Didn’t know the history behind it and I am grateful for the activists who made it possible. Really brings to light the struggles that people went through.
