"This Week in Disability History-The Little Rock Nine: Civil Rights Lessons that Shaped Disability Rights"
Update: 2025-09-12
Description
This episode marks the launch of our new series, This Week in Disability History. Each week, we’ll revisit a milestone that shaped the path toward equality and access for people with disabilities. On September 4, 1957, nine courageous Black students—known as the Little Rock Nine—integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Their bravery, and the national battle that followed, reshaped the civil rights landscape and opened legal and cultural doors that would later influence the disability rights movement.
