He meant it, lived it, and helped others achieve it. Self-proclaimed cripple, catalyst, and cosmic thinker, Ed Roberts was all of these as he built a life for himself as a person with polio, then laid the foundation for millions of other people with disabilities to build their own lives.

This video will draw inspiration as it features excerpts from a speech delivered by Ed Roberts, considered the "father" of independent living, at a 1981 independent living conference. His words are interspersed with contemporary photographs that depict the ongoing struggle of people throughout the world for the rights and independence modeled by this visionary leader. A perfect addition to any disability history library and its' brief length facilitates use for class discussions and trainings.
