The Launch of Patient No More

Event Date: Sunday, July 26, 2015
Location: Off-campus: Ed Roberts Campus, Berkeley, CA above Ashby BART 3075 Adeline St

The launch of our accessible, multimedia exhibit "Patient No More: People with disabilities securing civil rights."

We are pleased to invite the public to the launch of our exhibit, Patient No More: People with disabilities securing civil rights. After nearly three years of work, we cannot wait to share this great Bay Area story with you. The celebration will be particularly exciting as it will reunite many of the protesters from the 1977 Section 504 Occupation (the focus of our exhibit). You won't want to miss this historic opportunity coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
 
To add to the celebration, please consider coming in your best 1970s attire: go deep into that back closet or neighborhood thrift to find those brightly colored bell bottoms and wide collars…you'll blend right in with the people pictured in our exhibit!

When: Sunday, July 26, 2015, 2-4:30 with a brief program starting at 2pm.
Where: The Ed Roberts Campus above Ashby BART, 3075 Adeline St.
