"The Disability History Project is a community history project and we 
welcome your participation. This is an opportunity for disabled people to 
reclaim our history and determine how we want to define ourselves and our 
struggles. People with disabilities have an exciting and rich history that 
should be shared with the world. Please email or mail us anything that you 
would like to see become part of the Disability Social History Project, 
including your disabled heroes, important events in disability history, and 
resources."
