>>African Americans with Disabilities Internet Discussion Group Formed
>>by Radio Talk Show Host
>>
>>Yellow Springs, OH -- In observance of African American History
>>Awareness
>>Month, a syndicated radio talk show host has established a new e-mail
>>discussion group targeted to African Americans with disabilities. "The
>>objective of this group is to give African Americans with disabilities
>>an
>>electronic forum to discuss unique issues we face," says Greg Smith,
>>host of
>>On A Roll - Talk Radio on Life & Disability. His weekly radio program
>>airs
>>on 15 radio stations across the country and the Internet live. Smith
>>has
>>muscular dystrophy and is of African American descent.
>>
>>"I'm very excited about the quality of the dialogue that is taking place
>>on
>>the list. Being both African American and disabled is a lot to have in
>>common, and we're probing into what we have all experienced but never
>>had a
>>forum to discuss openly," says Smith. He hopes the list can facilitate
>>more
>>involvement of blacks with disabilities in the disability movement and
>>promote an understanding of disability culture the African American
>>community.
>>
>>Smith hopes that the discussion will probe into how cultural influences
>>may
>>be impacting the lives of African Americans with disabilities. "I've
>>faced
>>discrimination as part of the 'double whammy' that comes from being both
>>black and disabled," says Smith. "But the most painful aspect of it is
>>discrimination in the form of 'able-ism' from within my own race."
>>
>>Tracee Garner, 23, a student at Northern Virginia Community College sees
>>the
>>list as the start of an important interactive community. "It is an
>>outlet
>>and place to come together with like peers were my views are taken into
>>account, shared and heard, thus helping me to find a place where I can
>>identify, express and receive positive empowerment," she says. "I also
>>think
>>its cool that there are non-African Americans on the list who care
>>enough to
>>not only observe the discussion but participate in it as well." Garner
>>has
>>Spinal Muscular Atrophy and uses a wheelchair. Other list members are
>>visually impaired, deaf and mobility impaired.
>>
>>African Americans with disabilities are currently being recruited to
>>sign up
>>for the list. Subscribers have the option of receiving posts via e-mail
