This is something that is rarely discussed and you summed it up so eloquently. You're right, I think it was and still is especially true in the south. And as you said, the position is still perpetuated as menial work especially as evidenced by pay rates. Its ridiculous. I haven't read many blogs but I certainly love yours.

Yeah, it embarrassed me, but I found it terribly exciting, too... I learned early to raise hell! :) (Also, I learned very early how people lie to protect the status quo.) Great piece, love ya.

What she meant by that was, that we may not feel like it, as people with visible disabilities and activists we're always "on" and every opportunity, no matter how annoying, is a chance to educate the public. This is a great post. Thanks for sharing. One of my friends often says… preceded by a long sigh, “one more time for the cause from the visible gimp”.
