Discover a remarkable, overlooked moment in U.S. history when people with disabilities occupied a government building to demand their rights and won. We are proud to announce that Exhibit Envoy, a non-profit which helps showcase traveling exhibits, has added Patient No More to their line-up, which will help us keep spreading this story far and wide for the next 3+ years! As noted on their website,"[Exhibit Envoy] creates exhibitions with two audiences in mind: you and your community. [Their] exhibitions include art, history, culture, and natural history content."
The Patient No More project includes a traveling exhibit, in addition to the main exhibit, to bring the content featured in the main exhibit to various locations throughout the United States. The traveling exhibit lends geographic accessibility to much of the content of Patient No More and seeks to reach as broad an audience as possible. Whenever possible, we also offer unique programming that is free and open to the public. We Won! We Won! We Won! Previous hosts of Patient No More:
