"It's Our Story " Disability History Project Goes Live on YouTube

Just in time for the 26th anniversary of the ADA, It's Our Story is putting the voices of America's disability activists online, public and accessible, for the world to see. We've already released testimonies from some of the most influential disability leaders of our time.

t's Our Story is a national initiative to make disability history national and accessible. We've conducted over 1,000 video interviews with disability leaders across the nation; now, we're making these voices public and accessible so everyone can take part in the discussion about what it means to be an American with a disability.
