An excellent obituary for Judy Heumann by Joseph Shapiro for NPR. We were so fortunate to have her to fight for disability civil rights. Let's honor her life's work by continuing the fight!

"Disability only becomes a tragedy when society fails to provide the things we need to lead our lives — job opportunities or barrier-free buildings, for example," she said. "It is not a tragedy to me that I'm living in a wheelchair."
