As we continue to honor #BlackHistoryMonth we look

As we continue to honor #BlackHistoryMonth we look to the leaders who are making history today. @olas_truth unrelenting grit and determination for advocating for women, people of color and individuals with disabilities makes her one of the greatest leaders of this time. She founded two nonprofits, the Sacred Hearts Children’s Transplant Foundation and Project ASCEND, while advocating for equal and affordable access to healthcare for all. From providing children awaiting organ transplants with teddy bears and books to working as one of the most influential advocates for individuals with rare and complex conditions, like those receiving services at #AbilityKC, her work has impacted countless lives.

Claudia Gordon made history when she became the first deaf, black woman to become a US attorney. Throughout her career she has worked tirelessly to create a more accessible, inclusive and equitable world for individuals with disabilities. She has served in many leadership roles including on the National Council on Disability, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as the Chief of Staff for the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs and the Associate Director of Public Engagement for the White House Office of Public Engagement.

Claudia’s exceptional career is bolstered by the progress made to ensure individuals with disabilities, especially those from diverse backgrounds, do not face discrimination in the workforce or in their communities.

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth we are filled with gratitude to share the incredible stories of black disability advocates that have shaped our community.

Brad Lomax is one of many influential leaders who recognized the need for equality and empowerment for individuals with disabilities, especially individuals of color. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, Brad knew the importance of having access to disability services and supports. Of his most significant accomplishments was the opening of the East Oakland Center for Independent Living where he offered peer counseling and his active participation and leadership was critical to historic sit-ins that led to the implementation of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Brad’s remarkable life and unflinching dedication to civil and disability rights has undoubtedly cleared a path for individuals with disabilities today.
