This podcast is launched in 2021 with grace and generosity by support from the Henry Luce Foundation and Columbia University’s Center on African American Religion, Sexual Politics and Social Justice (CARSS).  I am grateful for the review team who discerned the urgency of advancing disability as a justice issue in the 21st Century and saw value in my proposal to receive one of their Rapid Response Grants.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
