A Conversation with Judith Heumann: Students, Disability Rights, and Social Justice

As described in the Hollywood Reporter, Judith Heumann, an American disability rights activist, “is to the disability rights movement what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was to the civil rights movement and Gloria Steinem is to the feminist movement – namely, a fearless trailblazer who has done nothing less than change the course of history for millions of people in America and around the world.” An internationally recognized leader in the disability community, Heumann is a lifelong civil rights advocate for people with disabilities. Her work with governments and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) has produced significant contributions since the 1970s to the development of human rights legislation and policies benefiting children and adults with disabilities. She was responsible for the implementation of legislation at the national level for programs in special education, disability research, vocational rehabilitation and independent living, serving more than 8 million youth and adults with disabilities. Through her work in the World Bank and the State Department, Heumann led the mainstreaming of disability rights into international development. Heumann served two presidents: She served in the Clinton Administration as the Assistant Secretary for the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in the Department of Education. President Obama appointed Heumann as the first Special Advisor for International Disability Rights at the U.S. Department of State. Named one of TIME magazine’s 100 most influential women of the past century, her story is featured in the Academy Award nominated documentary “Crip Camp.” Without her activism, we may not have had the Independent Living Movement, the passage of Section 504 in the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities.
