DisBeat Publishes A Month In Review: A Tale of Two Communities
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 27, 2016 -- “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…”
In the six-week home stretch ramping up to the November election, the opening words of A Tale of Two Cities sum up the dichotomy of the disability community--it truly is a tale of two communities in several key areas. DisBeat has polled key thought leaders and community leaders to shed light on the profound differences experienced by the disability community.
Topics covered in this important blog post are Youth with Disabilities and Media, The Workplace and Voting.
