Harriet McBryde Johnson, 1957-2008

A great disabled rights activist and civil rights attorney has passed.

I am not familiar with her work, but I plan to familiarize myself with it.

Thank you, Kay, for a list.

The Gimp Parade: RIP Harriet McBryde Johnson, 1957-2008

I like this snippit from the Washington Post:

"• Ms. Schiavo is not terminally ill. She has lived in her current condition for 15 years. This is not about end-of-life decision making. The question is whether she should be killed by denying her food and fluids."
