Hidden No More: Joining the Legacy of Americans with Disabilities in U.S. History

I’m so very excited and honored to announce that I’ve been included in the New York City Department of Education teaching and curriculum guide, Hidden Voices: Americans with Disabilities in United States History. This will be used to teach public school students across the five boroughs.

“The Hidden Voices project was initiated to help students learn about and honor the innumerable people, often “hidden” from the traditional historical record, who have shaped and continue to shape our history and identity. Hidden Voices: Americans with Disabilities in United States History delves into the perspectives, experiences, and impact that Americans with disabilities have had—and continue to have—on United States history.”

I’m beyond humbled to be included with the likes of Harriet Tubman, Marsha P Johnson, Brad Lomax, Alice Wong, Leroy F Moore, Maysoon Zayid, and so many other powerhouses in the fight for liberation. It’s also not lost on me that while I’ll soon be taught in NYC schools, in my home states of OK and TX my first book, Sacred and Subversive: Queer Voices on Faith and Spirituality, will most certainly be banned.

I’m included on the cover & pages 27 & 519-533.
