I think I’m gonna read this autobiography. So sad what we’re doing to Cuba right now

I read about it in the Berkeley archives and in disability studies quarterly. If you Google Brad Lomax and 504 movement you’ll find a lot of material

This particular book is an autobiography.

That's right. Thank you for the reminder. I remember reading about their role in the protests in San Francisco especially. I wonder if there's a more extensive write up somewhere of that relationship.

The Panthers were key to the success of the 504 disability movement that led to our Americans With Disabilities Act

I also have been thinking about the police brutality issue with disability a lot ever since the summer of 2020 .  but I agree that the statistics don’t always show how it works.

Sounds like a good book club. Is this an autobiography or a biography?
