Did you know: JOYCE JACKSON (1944- ) is regarded as Oklahoma television's first Black woman journalist. Joyce was a disability activist that lived with arthritis throughout her life. She is one of the vital protesters who took part in the nearly month long sit-ins that demanded the enforcement of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Her efforts led her and other disability activists to meet with the Carter administration to successfully implement Section 504 – the historical civil rights legislation that prohibits federally funded agencies, programs, and activities from discriminating against people with disabilities . Yes arthritis is a physical disability too. FWD

Rev. Jesse Jackson
Was an American politician, Minister, and civil rights leader. Rev. Jackson was a protégé of Martin Luther King Jr. and in the 1980s reshaped Democratic politics with two galvanizing presidential campaigns. He died Tuesday at the age of 84.
What many people did not know is that Reverend Jesse Jackson had Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), a rare, progressive neurological disorder.
The condition had caused severe mobility issues such as; stiff movements, and challenges with swallowing and eye movements. We celebrate his life not just as a great leader but a person with a physical disability and limitations.
