Anti-Racism and Anti-Ableism are Entwined: A Presentation and Panel Discussion

Originally presented Friday, April 8, 2022 by Mary Lee Vance, California State University, Sacramento; Rahsaan Ellison-Johnson, California State University, Sacramento; Katherine Betts, California State University, Sacramento

Three panelists will share their personal and professional experiences growing up with intersectional identities, and eventually becoming among the few disabled college administrators of color. The session will provide a brief historical glimpse of how the Civil Rights Movement led the way for the Disability Rights Movement, and how the intersection of race and disability, racism and ableism are intertwined.
