Before Disability: A History of American Citizenship

Join us on October 19 at the Paul S. Russell, MD Museum of Medical History and Innovation in Boston for an eye-opening exploration of American citizenship through the lens of disability. Over the past 250 years, what we now recognize as disabilities were once seen as differences that could be accommodated. As America evolved, however, these differences often led to exclusion and varying levels of citizenship. This engaging discussion will delve into the intertwined histories of disability, race, and citizenship, revealing surprising insights that are crucial for understanding past experiences and advocating for justice today. Plus, stick around for a book signing after the conversation! Whether you join us in person or online, this free hybrid event promises to be thought-provoking and enriching. Don't miss out!
