March is Women’s History month in which we have an opportunity to highlight the significant contributions women who have advocated for the rights of the marginalized to create a more just and inclusive world.

Let me introduce you tt Judith Heumann, known as the “Mother of the Disability Rights Movement,” who passed away at the age of 75 on March 4, 2023. Join us in honoring her legacy by listening to a conversation she recorded with her friend, April Coughlin, about the landmark legal case that would define her career.

The following is a short StoryCorps segment in which April Coughlin has a conversation with Judith about her journey as a disabled person and  how fought for her rights and the rights of so countless people.
