Black Lives Matter and DisabilityThis page was added in the summer of 2016, as Black Lives Matter and actions against police brutality spread across the U.S. We offer these resources to help connect BLM to disability resources, to help Black students with disabilities learn about intersections of disability and race in the movement, and to share resources about race and disability with police and security officers working with campuses and surrounding neighborhoods. The violence against Black people and against police officers must stop.
It is now 2020, and Black Lives Matter continues to work for systemic justice and change. It is the week of June 1, and across the world, people are protesting and expressing collective grief after the death of George Floyd. They are also working during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is killing Black, brown, and indigenous people at a disproportionate rate. Although the HBCU Disability Consoritum has ended, we will be updating these pages within the next two weeks to provide resources related to current crises. Also check out our Resources page for related information. If you have additional suggestions for this page, please contact us. |
