Justin Clark, a man who never learned to take no for an answer, died Thursday at the age of 58.
Born in 1962 with cerebral palsy, unable to walk or talk, he leaves a legacy few Canadians will ever match.
Clark became a pioneer in the fight for the rights of disabled people–determined that they should be treated as full-fledged human beings.
