Feedback from him. And, you know, at first i even made a mistake. We were so used to in high school to learning that these young people are called special education, and derek, you know, corrected me.

Or if they didnt care, they learned to care. And this was partly because of activism of the disability rights, the organizers at the protest. They had sewn seed all over the community and the bay area. So, you had this amazing phenomena where youd have like the black panthers, ~ safeway, mcdonalds, glide memorial church. All these amazing bay area institutions contributing to the protest in some way, bringing in, in the case of the black panthers, they brought in hot food. They brought in politicians had showers brought in. So, it was possible for it to happen because the local political people really cared and really started to get it about disability. And because the disability activists themselves were incredibly articulate about what they wanted, what their goals were, what needed to happe
