A picture book biography celebrating the life and work of
disability rights activist and icon Judith Heumann, highlighting
one of her landmark achievements-leading the historic 504 Sit-in in
1977From a very young age, Judy Heumann heard the word NO. When she
wanted to attend public school, the principal said, "NO." When she
wanted her teaching license, the New York Board of Education said,
"NO." Judy and people with disabilities everywhere were tired of
hearing "NO."In the 1970s an important disability rights law,
Section 504 of The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, was waiting to be
signed. Judy and other disability rights activists fought for
"YES!" They held a sit-in until Section 504 was signed into law.
Section 504 laid the foundation for the Americans with Disabilities
Act, which was established thanks in large part to the ongoing work
of Judy and her community. Along with a personal reflection from
Judy herself, this picture book biography captures the impact and
influence of one of America's greatest living activists.
