Martin Luther King Day

I have the privilege of working with people with Down syndrome and children and adults who are differently-abled. In our work to improve funding, research, medical care, education and understanding, it is very clear to me that our work is deeply rooted in the ideals of human and civil rights. If society or individuals do not see our children, our people, as human, what can we achieve? If people who are differently-abled are not seen as equals worthy of rights and participation, what can we achieve?
We have taken poetic license with his quotes to highlight our population. Please join us in our first VIRTUAL MARCH advocating human and civil rights for people who are differently-abled by choosing your favorite Martin Luther King Jr. quote (for your picket sign 🙂 ) and letting us know why that quote resonates with your own personal story.
