Please take some time today to learn about Lois Curtis. She is a trailblazer among abolitionists whose freedom prayers, dreams, art, stories, strategies, struggles and love freed herself and thousands at that time, and untold millions into the future. No words do justice...

Lois Curtis leaning on the porch railing of her own home in Stone Mountain, GA in 1999 beaming with pride & joy just after winning the Olmstead case which secured her & THOUSANDS of disabled people's right to live freely in communities instead of being incarcerated in institions.

The GFM for Lois Curtis, a Southern Black #disabled woman who was influential in the passage of the Olmstead Act, was shared with me. This is another reminder that our Black disabled elders aren’t cared for as they should be, even in their final days. https://t.co/cVi5uWuAYH
