A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year for Nonfiction"...an essential and engaging look at recent disability history."- Buzzfeed
One of the most influential disability rights activists in US history tells her personal story of fighting for the right to receive an education, have a job, and just be human.
A story of fighting to belong in a world that wasn't built for all of us and of one woman's activism-from the streets of Brooklyn and San Francisco to inside the halls of Washington-Being Heumann recounts Judy Heumann's lifelong battle to achieve respect, acceptance, and inclusion in society.
Paralyzed from polio at eighteen months, Judy's struggle for equality began early in life. From fighting to attend grade school after being described as a "fire hazard" to later winning a lawsuit against the New York City school system for denying her a teacher's license because of her paralysis, Judy's actions set a precedent that fundamentally improved rights for disabled people.
As a young woman, Judy rolled her wheelchair through the doors of the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in San Francisco as a leader of the Section 504 Sit-In, the longest takeover of a governmental building in US history. Working with a community of over 150 disabled activists and allies, Judy successfully pressured the Carter administration to implement protections for disabled peoples' rights, sparking a national movement and leading to the creation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Candid, intimate, and irreverent, Judy Heumann's memoir about resistance to exclusion invites readers to imagine and make real a world in which we all belong.

Heartbeat machine
Not what I was expecting. Pretty small and you can't really hear it. I was hoping to put it up on a shelf for my dogs when I leave. But, they'll never hear it. I'm sure I can use it for something else. Just not what I was hoping to unfortunately

Great replacement heart for bear toy
Many years ago I bought a Heart to Heart Bear (1980s)--with a heartbeat. After several years the heart stopped working, but I kept the bear--thinking that some day I could fix it. Last Saturday I replaced the original heart with this heartbeat toy and now she works great! The heart is not too loud and the fact that I can start and end it without opening the bear is great. I am going to buy another one as back-up just in case this one stops working. Thank you.

Calming with a pulse
I bought these to transport puppies across the US. I put one in each carrier and the puppies slept on each plane ride. A total of over 5 hours on planes. Would totally recommend.
