The Radical Life of Ed Roberts
Ed Roberts, known as the father of the independent living movement, was paralyzed by polio in his early teens.
Attending university in the 1960s was a revolutionary and complicated process for him due to structural hurdles.
His activism led to the development of independent living centers, which assist with:
- finding personal aides
- signing up for affordable, accessible housing
to guarantee as much personal freedom and agency as possible to people who would once have been forced into dehumanizing circumstances.
