Overview

We're the People, Too: Tales from America's Largest Minority is a friendly attempt to enlighten and challenge not only the 54 million Americans with disabilities-but perhaps more importantly, citizens who are not disabled. Here are sixteen tales of fighters and survivors, U.S. citizens hailing from California to New York, from Montana to Texas-citizens who have various physical or mental disabilities. From Dana who lost both legs in a skydiving accident to Shawna who ran the ""medical specialists"" gauntlet before happening on a diagnosis-these stories will amaze, touch and inspire you. Each story looks at an individual and his or her respective disability, considering the particular situation from various angles-social, economic, political and, of course, personal. We're the People, Too is meant to challenge people to not only learn, but to be motivated toward engaging their peers-peers who just happen to be disabled.
