I want to shut it off,
I got to press the trigger again.

5
00:00:26,484 --> 00:00:28,153
It should start rolling again.

-[man 2] Yeah.
-[man 3] All right.

00:00:29,487 --> 00:00:32,991
Would you like to see, um,
handicapped people depicted as people?

[narrator] Jim LeBrecht
is a sound designer

10
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:44,502
at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre
in California.

11
00:00:45,128 --> 00:00:49,132
He was born with a disability
which has nothing to do with his job.

12
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:52,635
But having the job
makes it possible for him to lead

13
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:54,846
an independent productive life.

14
00:00:57,140 --> 00:00:58,308
[woman] ...Tom? That's nice.

15
00:00:58,391 --> 00:01:00,018
Well, it's about his condition.

16
00:01:08,443 --> 00:01:10,361
[LeBrecht] I was born with spina bifida.

17
00:01:10,987 --> 00:01:13,782
They didn't think I was gonna live
more than a couple of hours.

18
00:01:15,325 --> 00:01:17,577
Apparently, I had different plans.

19
00:01:32,050 --> 00:01:33,468
In the middle of first grade,

20
00:01:33,551 --> 00:01:36,221
I was allowed to enter public school
on a trial basis.

21
00:01:38,473 --> 00:01:40,350
They were gonna see if it worked out.

22
00:01:41,851 --> 00:01:43,144
I mean, at the time,

23
00:01:43,228 --> 00:01:47,023
so many kids just like me
were being sent to institutions.

24
00:01:49,067 --> 00:01:51,528
I remember that my dad used to say to me,

25
00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:54,155
"You know, Jimmy, you're gonna
have to be really outgoing.

26
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:56,908
You're gonna have to go up
and introduce yourself to people,

27
00:01:56,991 --> 00:01:58,535
'cause they're not gonna come up to you."

28
00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:02,330
My sister Lindsay was a Brownie,

29
00:02:03,206 --> 00:02:04,999
but they wouldn't let me
into the Cub Scouts.

30
00:02:06,835 --> 00:02:09,087
The barriers were all over the place.

31
00:02:12,507 --> 00:02:14,676
I loved music. I loved life.

32
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:17,470
I wanted to be part of the world,

33
00:02:17,554 --> 00:02:19,597
but I didn't see anyone like me in it.

34
00:02:23,184 --> 00:02:25,979
And then I hear from some people
about this summer camp.

35
00:02:26,604 --> 00:02:30,275
It's a summer camp for, you know,
"the handicapped," run by hippies.

36
00:02:31,234 --> 00:02:32,527
And somebody said,

37
00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:34,571
"You'll probably smoke dope
with the counselors."

38
00:02:34,654 --> 00:02:37,490
[chuckles] And I'm like, "Sign me up!"

41
00:02:46,374 --> 00:02:47,917

[LeBrecht] So, I remember the first time
I went to Camp Jened.

61
00:04:14,254 --> 00:04:17,674
We take this bus trip
from Manhattan up to the Catskills.

62
00:04:18,174 --> 00:04:20,051
It's about a three-hour drive.

63
00:04:21,427 --> 00:04:24,055
And you get into this really lovely
kinda mountainous areas,

64
00:04:24,138 --> 00:04:27,350
and you could smell, like,
the hot land and the pines,

65
00:04:27,433 --> 00:04:29,435
and you're hearing birds and stuff.

66
00:04:30,603 --> 00:04:32,897
And then we pull into the parking lot,

67
00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:36,192
and these people start
swarming around the bus.

68
00:04:37,485 --> 00:04:40,571
The place has got a bunch of hippies,
and some of them look pretty freaky.

69
00:04:41,239 --> 00:04:42,615
And it's like, wow.

70
00:04:42,699 --> 00:04:45,576
I'm not sure who's a camper
and who's a counselor.

["Freedom (Motherless Child)"

72
00:04:54,335 --> 00:04:56,212
[Woodyard] I grew up in Mobile, Alabama.

73
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:59,215
I saw a sign that said, "Summer jobs.

74
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:00,842
Camps.

75
00:05:00,925 --> 00:05:02,010
New York."

76
00:05:03,177 --> 00:05:04,846
I didn't know anyone handicapped.

77
00:05:06,055 --> 00:05:08,891
I was feeling a little anxious
about the kids.

78
00:05:10,101 --> 00:05:13,521
I had zero experience
with disabled people.

79
00:05:13,604 --> 00:05:16,357
I knew as many disabled people
as I knew

80
00:05:16,441 --> 00:05:17,483
sumo wrestlers.

81
00:05:18,693 --> 00:05:21,321
So I'm at the front of the bus,

82
00:05:21,404 --> 00:05:26,951
and I was not prepared for the visual
of so many disabled people at one time.

83
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:31,247
And I froze.
I became paralyzed with fear.

84
00:05:32,373 --> 00:05:36,544
[chuckles] Then somebody behind me
pushed me, because I was in the way,

85
00:05:36,627 --> 00:05:40,298
and that forward momentum
carried me through the summer.

[Ann Cupolo Freeman] I mean,
when Woodstock was happening,

90
00:06:05,156 --> 00:06:08,076
I remember being at my grandmother's,
listening on the transistor radio,

91
00:06:08,743 --> 00:06:11,662
and saying, "Wish I could go.
Wish I could go. Wish I could go."

92
00:06:12,413 --> 00:06:15,500
And then, when I went to Jened,
[laughs] it was like,

93
00:06:15,583 --> 00:06:17,126
there I was! I was in Woodstock.

Yeah, I'm the director of the camp, and...

128
00:08:56,911 --> 00:08:58,162
I, uh...

129
00:08:58,246 --> 00:09:04,835
I was just out here by the swimming pool,
watching the kids swim.

130
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:09,340
I decided to dig a few holes,
'cause the kids are kind of clumsy

131
00:09:09,423 --> 00:09:11,592
and I thought
it'd be funny if they tripped.

132

00:09:12,969 --> 00:09:14,595
[young LeBrecht speaking]

134
00:09:14,762 --> 00:09:15,596
That's right.

135
00:09:18,140 --> 00:09:23,437
[Allison] Jened was an opportunity to try
to do some different kinds of things.

136
00:09:25,064 --> 00:09:27,650
When the camp started back in the '50s,

137
00:09:27,733 --> 00:09:31,612
it was the, uh, traditional
kind of camp program.

138
00:09:31,696 --> 00:09:34,490
As it evolved during the '60s
and into the '70s,

139
00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:39,287
what we tried to do was provide
the kind of environment

140
00:09:39,370 --> 00:09:41,247
where teenagers could be teenagers

141
00:09:41,330 --> 00:09:43,791
without all the stereotypes
and the labels.

142
00:09:43,874 --> 00:09:48,170
And that was a byproduct of the times.
You know, of social experimentation.

143
00:09:52,383 --> 00:09:56,345
We realized the problem did not exist
with people with disabilities.

144
00:09:56,429 --> 00:10:00,141
The problem existed with people
that didn't have disabilities.

145
00:10:00,224 --> 00:10:02,059
It was our problem.

146
00:10:02,143 --> 00:10:05,229
So it was important for us to change.

147
00:10:05,896 --> 00:10:08,566
Just to say, I like Camp Jened.

148
00:10:09,150 --> 00:10:12,153
And I love Larry Olson. [kisses]

to give me a telephone call.

And I am blind and hard of hearing.

168
00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:17,885
I had too much oxygen in the incubator,

169
00:11:17,968 --> 00:11:19,345
and my hearing,

170
00:11:19,428 --> 00:11:22,598
because I had a fractured skull
from falling out of a cab.

00:11:23,391 --> 00:11:26,769
And I will be glad if anyone will call me
who hears this.

172
00:11:30,314 --> 00:11:31,524
[young LeBrecht] This is where I stay.

173
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:37,655
-[young LeBrecht] Steve's a counselor.
-[man] Wanna take a picture of this cat?

174
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:38,781
[young LeBrecht] Smile, Steve.

175
00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:42,118
[young LeBrecht] Oops.

176
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:44,120
Let's not bump into the campers.

177
00:11:44,203 --> 00:11:45,913
[campers argue in background]

178
00:11:49,041 --> 00:11:50,709
[videographer] Let's move around that way.

179
00:11:51,293 --> 00:11:52,670
[young LeBrecht speaking]

180
00:12:03,013 --> 00:12:06,100
[videographer] You don't have the light to
roll up inside and see what it looks like?

181
00:12:06,183 --> 00:12:07,977
[young LeBrecht] Um, I don't know.

182
00:12:08,769 --> 00:12:10,813
[Hofmann speaking]

183
00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:18,028
[Tommy] Yeah! Yeah!

184
00:12:18,112 --> 00:12:19,029
[young LeBrecht] Hey, Tommy.

185
00:12:19,989 --> 00:12:20,990
Yeah!

186
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:22,158
[young LeBrecht] This is Tommy Curran.

187
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:24,076
[videographer] Hi, Tommy.

188
00:12:27,329 --> 00:12:29,498
Nobody uses those upper beds, right?

189
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:31,083
-[young LeBrecht] What?
-[videographer] The upper beds?

190
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:33,502
-[young LeBrecht] The counselors do.
-[videographer] The counselors do.

191
00:12:35,171 --> 00:12:36,714
-[young LeBrecht] Hey, JJ.
-[JJ] What's happening?

192
00:12:36,797 --> 00:12:38,591
[young LeBrecht speaking]

193
00:12:38,674 --> 00:12:39,758
[JJ chuckles]

194
00:12:43,429 --> 00:12:46,265
[LeBrecht] That first night in the bunk,
I was a little bit nervous.

195
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:49,310
I had just had surgery.

196
00:12:50,769 --> 00:12:55,107
Up to that point, I was wearing diapers,
'cause I had no control over my bladder.

197
00:12:56,192 --> 00:12:59,695
I guess you could imagine
what it was like being 15

198
00:12:59,778 --> 00:13:02,156
and trying to hide the fact
that you had to wear diapers.

199
00:13:05,451 --> 00:13:09,413
And there was that constant pressure
of being found out.

200
00:13:10,998 --> 00:13:15,794
I had gotten this urinary tract diversion,
so now I had this bag.

201
00:13:15,878 --> 00:13:17,004
It wasn't going too well.

202
00:13:17,087 --> 00:13:21,175
I was having a hard time keeping it on,
and it was leaking and such.

203
00:13:22,718 --> 00:13:25,804
But at camp, everybody had something
going on with their body.

204
00:13:26,555 --> 00:13:28,557
It just wasn't a big deal.

205
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:34,522
Okay, uh, my first guest,
what's your name?

206
00:13:34,605 --> 00:13:36,232
My name is Michael Tannenbaum.

207
00:13:36,315 --> 00:13:37,149
How old are you?

208
00:13:37,858 --> 00:13:40,152
-I was just 18.
-[chuckles]

209
00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:43,948
Uh, what do you think is the most
significant part about Camp Jened?

210
00:13:44,448 --> 00:13:45,449
Uh...

211
00:13:46,033 --> 00:13:47,034
The staff.

212
00:13:47,117 --> 00:13:49,870
How great they are.
How good they relate to the campers.

213
00:13:50,746 --> 00:13:53,123
-Are you lying?
-No, I'm not lying.

214
00:13:53,666 --> 00:13:55,000
It's just that I've been in other camps,

215
00:13:55,084 --> 00:13:57,086
and at no other camp
have campers treated...

216
00:13:57,169 --> 00:13:59,421
Have counselors treated campers
the way they do here.

217
00:13:59,505 --> 00:14:00,965
They're not like babysitters.

218
00:14:01,632 --> 00:14:02,633
[all laugh]

219
00:14:02,716 --> 00:14:05,427
-That was a good answer.
-Thank you, John.

220
00:14:08,055 --> 00:14:09,598
[young Judy Heumann] It's not 100% sure,

221
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:12,977
but since the new trip
is gonna be coming up Thursday,

222
00:14:13,060 --> 00:14:16,689
what we're gonna try to do
is get the cook to take off Wednesday,

223
00:14:16,772 --> 00:14:19,900
which means that we'll cook on Wednesday.

224
00:14:19,984 --> 00:14:22,361
Do you have any, um, suggestions?

225
00:14:22,945 --> 00:14:25,823
I was trying to see
if we could make veal parmesan,

226
00:14:25,906 --> 00:14:27,658
but veal is too expensive.

227
00:14:27,741 --> 00:14:29,535
[man 1] How about just, like, chow mein?

228
00:14:29,618 --> 00:14:32,162
-'Cause bacon is just more expensive.
-[woman] Chicken parmesan.

229
00:14:32,246 --> 00:14:33,873
What do you think of lasagna?

230
00:14:34,623 --> 00:14:37,668
-[campers agreeing and disagreeing]
-[woman] Super-duper!

231
00:14:39,545 --> 00:14:40,713
[young Heumann] Quiet!

232
00:14:41,255 --> 00:14:43,215
How many people... Raise your hands.

233
00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:45,342
How many people want lasagna?

234
00:14:46,927 --> 00:14:48,387
[indistinct chatter]

235
00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:50,556
[man 2] When do we get not to eat starch?

236
00:14:51,849 --> 00:14:54,810
The only deal is we don't have to eat
those starchy things,

237
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:55,769
so why eat lasagna?

238
00:14:55,853 --> 00:14:58,397
[young Heumann]
How many people don't want lasagna?

239
00:15:00,441 --> 00:15:03,068
-[man 3] Lasagna wins!
-[man 4] No lasagna wins.

240
00:15:03,652 --> 00:15:04,486
[young Heumann] All right.

241
00:15:05,946 --> 00:15:08,282
When you go back into... Mark.

242
00:15:08,782 --> 00:15:13,829
When you go back into your groups,
will you also decide...

243
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:18,792
Get some suggestions as to what you want,
and when we come back in a group together,

244
00:15:18,876 --> 00:15:22,129
um, we'll decide what
we're going to have to eat.

245
00:15:22,212 --> 00:15:24,590
Okay? If the cook is off on Wednesday.

246
00:15:27,301 --> 00:15:32,014
[Heumann] I felt like
it was important to be inclusive,

247
00:15:32,097 --> 00:15:35,184
because I didn't really have
a lot of role models,

248
00:15:35,267 --> 00:15:37,394
as I was growing up, who had disabilities.

249
00:15:37,478 --> 00:15:41,148
It made people feel like they were more
a part of what was happening.

250
00:15:41,982 --> 00:15:43,859
-[young Heumann] Very good idea.
-[camper] Yeah!

251
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:46,153
[Heumann] It was more free and open

252
00:15:46,236 --> 00:15:49,782
than certainly what I was experiencing
in my day-to-day life at home.

253
00:15:49,865 --> 00:15:55,162
♪ I love my baby
My baby loves me ♪

254
00:15:55,245 --> 00:16:00,376
[Heumann] I grew up in Brooklyn, New York,
in a neighborhood called East Flatbush.

255
00:16:02,127 --> 00:16:05,255
Growing up in the neighborhood,
I didn't feel different.

256
00:16:05,798 --> 00:16:06,924
I had polio.

257
00:16:07,007 --> 00:16:09,551
I wasn't able to walk anymore
and things like that,

258
00:16:09,635 --> 00:16:10,970
but there were a lot of kids.

259
00:16:11,053 --> 00:16:14,098
We played outside.
Stick ball and jump rope.

260
00:16:14,181 --> 00:16:15,808
It was a great neighborhood.

261
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:21,855
So, one day, I was going to
the candy store with a group of friends.

262
00:16:21,939 --> 00:16:24,316
My friend was pushing my wheelchair,

263
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,986
and we went around the block,

264
00:16:27,069 --> 00:16:31,031
and these kids came over,
this one boy said, "Are you sick?"

265
00:16:33,117 --> 00:16:35,744
And I was really, like, taken aback,

266
00:16:36,245 --> 00:16:40,916
and I recall that I meekishly said,
"No, I'm not sick."

267
00:16:41,583 --> 00:16:43,210
But I remember...

268
00:16:43,293 --> 00:16:45,587
I wanted to cry.

269
00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:48,841
I get that feeling a lot even as an adult.

270
00:16:48,924 --> 00:16:53,345
I'm kind of in between
being shocked by the question,

271
00:16:53,429 --> 00:16:55,305
maybe being angry by it,

272
00:16:55,389 --> 00:16:57,933
but having to center myself.

273
00:16:58,976 --> 00:17:01,395
It was an awakening

274
00:17:01,478 --> 00:17:06,108
that people saw me not as Judy,

275
00:17:06,191 --> 00:17:08,318
but as somebody who was sick.

276
00:17:12,489 --> 00:17:14,158
When I was five years old,

277
00:17:14,241 --> 00:17:18,120
my mother took me
to the local school to enroll me,

278
00:17:18,203 --> 00:17:21,707
but the principal said I couldn't go
to that school 'cause I couldn't walk.

279
00:17:21,790 --> 00:17:23,500
I could be a fire hazard.

280
00:17:23,584 --> 00:17:26,920
So basically, my mother was teaching me.

281
00:17:29,339 --> 00:17:32,926
Of course, all my friends
in the neighborhood were going to school,

282
00:17:33,010 --> 00:17:34,344
but I was at home.

283
00:17:35,179 --> 00:17:37,931
Then, one day, when I was
about eight, nine years old,

284
00:17:38,015 --> 00:17:40,350
my mom got a call
that there was an opening

285
00:17:40,434 --> 00:17:43,979
in PS 219, in the special ed classes.

286
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:45,230
[bell ringing]

287
00:17:47,816 --> 00:17:50,569
[Heumann] The classes for disabled kids
were in the basement.

288
00:17:50,652 --> 00:17:52,821
The other classes were upstairs.

289
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:56,742
We would call the non-disabled kids
"upstairs kids."

290
00:17:58,077 --> 00:18:02,414
They would come down, a few of them,
Fridays, help us go to assembly.

291
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:05,334
They were allowed to come,

292
00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:08,837
and you know, meet us in our classroom
and push our wheelchairs.

293
00:18:11,215 --> 00:18:15,052
There were people that I met
in those classes

294
00:18:15,135 --> 00:18:17,596
who then went to Camp Jened together.

295
00:18:19,306 --> 00:18:23,936
Neil Jacobson, Stevie Hofmann
and Nancy Rosenblum.

296
00:18:24,478 --> 00:18:26,563
We would sit together at lunch,

297
00:18:27,564 --> 00:18:31,360
and I would help people put their sandwich
in their sandwich holder.

298
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:34,363
And I think we respected each other,

299
00:18:34,446 --> 00:18:38,200
and we all felt that what we were saying
was important.

300
00:18:39,743 --> 00:18:44,123
I mean, in some way,
even when we were that young,

301
00:18:44,206 --> 00:18:46,500
we knew that we were all being sidelined.

302
00:18:46,583 --> 00:18:49,253
-[indistinct chatter]
-[Rosenblum laughs]

303
00:18:49,336 --> 00:18:51,213
[Heumann]
We didn't wanna sideline anybody.

304
00:18:52,422 --> 00:18:54,383
We wanted to hear
what everybody had to say.

305
00:18:54,466 --> 00:18:56,135
We were willing to listen.

306
00:18:58,095 --> 00:18:59,680
[Rosenblum speaking]

307
00:19:00,889 --> 00:19:02,683
-[man 1] Sounds more like...
-[woman] Yeah, wow. [chuckles]

308
00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:09,022
[Rosenblum] You... You... You're always...
You're always talking.

309
00:19:09,106 --> 00:19:13,360
You're... You're always talking.

310
00:19:13,443 --> 00:19:15,154
[man 2 and 3] You're always talking.

311
00:19:15,237 --> 00:19:17,030
[all laugh]

312
00:19:17,114 --> 00:19:18,490
[man 3] That's 'cause
he's a good public speaker.

313
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:21,827
[woman 1] Jean and I thought I was being,
you know...

314
00:19:21,910 --> 00:19:23,537
[woman 2] I thought so, too.

315
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:24,913
[man 4] Jack?

316
00:19:25,789 --> 00:19:28,000
I think you're really great in the bunk.

317
00:19:28,083 --> 00:19:30,711
When the worst things happen,
you're sitting in the corner cracking up,

318
00:19:30,794 --> 00:19:32,921
and nobody can get depressed
when you're sitting there.

319
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:34,506
[all laugh]

320
00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:39,553
[woman 3] She knows what she's doing
when she's all, like, coy.

321
00:19:41,096 --> 00:19:43,015
You know, I really dig you, Nance,

322
00:19:43,098 --> 00:19:45,976
and there are a lot of things, you know,
I'd like to get to know you better,

323
00:19:46,059 --> 00:19:49,146
but, so far as I know you,
I really like you.

324
00:19:50,355 --> 00:19:52,065
[young LeBrecht speaking]

325
00:19:52,149 --> 00:19:54,735
[counselor] Remember, you're speaking
to her, not about her.

326
00:19:56,445 --> 00:19:58,864
[young LeBrecht] I don't know
too much about you, but you're okay.

327
00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:07,831
[indistinct chatter]

328
00:20:14,796 --> 00:20:17,216
[young Heumann]
Um, there's some people here

329
00:20:18,717 --> 00:20:20,510
who have been filming.

330
00:20:21,428 --> 00:20:25,474
I told them that I would like them
to please address us as a group

331
00:20:25,557 --> 00:20:27,059
so they could tell us their ideas

332
00:20:27,142 --> 00:20:30,520
and we could ask any questions
that we wanted to.

333
00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:32,397
[Gutstadt] We are People's Video Theater.

334
00:20:32,481 --> 00:20:36,276
That's Ken Marsh, I'm Howie Gutstadt,
and that's Ben Levine over there.

335
00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:39,071
And we have been working
with this equipment,

for the first couple of weeks at camp.

348
00:21:37,045 --> 00:21:38,255
Because I was in public school,

349
00:21:38,338 --> 00:21:40,674
I wasn't around other people
with disabilities.

350
00:21:41,675 --> 00:21:45,095
I wasn't a shut-in. I could come and go
more or less as I pleased.

351
00:21:46,013 --> 00:21:49,516
And not everybody at the camp
had those advantages.

[LeBrecht] She was funny. She was cute.

She was always in the middle of things

As much as you can
at the age of 15, you know?

I literally remember us, like,
making out in the dining hall.

It seemed like
we were making out all the time.

[Heumann] There was a romance in the air
if you wanted to experience it.

390
00:25:23,396 --> 00:25:25,982
I never dated outside of camp.

391

You know, and they have to
have it done for them.

447

You know, people around here
feel small enough most of the time,

449
00:28:41,261 --> 00:28:42,595
they'll probably feel even smaller.

I think, actually, what happened
was that people were having fun.

451

We were working together as a whole unit,
washing and cleaning and showering,

personal assistance was built into
all of our lives, who needed help.

458
00:29:11,708 --> 00:29:14,794
There were people there that would
help me get dressed and undressed,

459
00:29:14,878 --> 00:29:17,464
and go to the bathroom and shower,
and get in and out of the pool.

460
00:29:22,177 --> 00:29:26,723
In some way, it was also the beginning
of my experiencing

00:29:26,806 --> 00:29:30,518
what it would be like to have someone
other than my mother or my father

462
00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:32,020

you could do anything that you thought
you wanted to try to do.

466
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:46,367
You wouldn't be picked
to be on a team back home.

467
00:29:47,076 --> 00:29:50,789
But at Jened, you had to go up to bat.

468
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,837
And if you didn't hit the ball,
hell, you were out.

470

When we were at Jened,
the Disability Act had not been passed.

471
00:30:15,688 --> 00:30:20,443
So, when we would take the campers
on a trip into town for ice cream,

472
00:30:20,527 --> 00:30:22,362
we couldn't get you in the door.

473

And then deal with the staring,

474
00:30:25,949 --> 00:30:28,034
or deal with, "We don't want them here

475
00:30:28,117 --> 00:30:31,329

feel uncomfortable."

in my way being a black man,

the same thing was held true
for individuals in wheelchairs.

Back home, I had to be careful
who I said things to,

because that was a way of surviving.

How they bug us, or how you lie to them,

503
00:32:28,988 --> 00:32:31,532
Maybe we should start off with, uh...

504
00:32:31,616 --> 00:32:34,744
overprotectiveness, which I really hate.

00:32:34,827 --> 00:32:36,120
Does anybody wanna start it up?

506
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,041
My parents are great,
but sometimes I hate them,

507
00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:43,461
'cause they're too great,
and they're too protective of me.

508
00:32:44,128 --> 00:32:47,006
And things that I want to do,
and I would love to do,

509
00:32:47,090 --> 00:32:49,550
they say, "No, you can't do it.
You're handicapped."

510
00:32:49,634 --> 00:32:52,470
And they keep reminding me
of the fact that I'm in a chair.

511
00:32:52,553 --> 00:32:55,098
They don't seem to realize
that there's so much I could do.

And, um...

513
00:33:15,410 --> 00:33:17,620
[young LeBrecht] I depend
on my mother for some things

514
00:33:17,704 --> 00:33:20,456
and so I can't really fight her
as hard as I wish I could.

515
00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:22,166
[interviewer] What kind of things
do you depend on her for?

516
00:33:23,876 --> 00:33:24,752
Well...

517
00:33:25,461 --> 00:33:27,839
Some of the things everybody else
depends on their parents for,

518
00:33:27,922 --> 00:33:31,676
like laundry and stuff, but, like...

519
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:35,346
Like, she's the person
that orders special supplies

520
00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:38,016
when I'll need it and stuff, and...

521
00:33:38,725 --> 00:33:41,853
If I'm in a position where
I'm not able to do something, you know,

522
00:33:41,936 --> 00:33:43,271
she's gonna have to do it.

523
00:33:44,397 --> 00:33:47,066

when she's gonna be very reluctant.

Does everybody think... Everybody here
think that their parents are,

527
00:33:57,410 --> 00:33:58,661
you know, stricter with us?

528
00:33:58,745 --> 00:34:02,248
Or, you know, do they hit us the same
as your sister or brother,

529
00:34:02,331 --> 00:34:04,625
or they think you have to be careful?

530
00:34:05,209 --> 00:34:09,589
I have two brothers and, um, they got
a lot more freedom than I did.

Those are brothers.

that my community was unfamiliar with.

573
00:38:20,756 --> 00:38:26,137
I wore tie-dye shirts.
My afro had grown really, really...

574
00:38:26,220 --> 00:38:27,596
It was out like this.

575
00:38:28,431 --> 00:38:30,516

00:38:32,184 --> 00:38:35,855

the peace movement,

577
00:38:35,938 --> 00:38:40,818
the desire to stop the war,
I became very involved in that.

578
00:38:41,986 --> 00:38:46,449
Jened had exposed me to

579
00:38:50,202 --> 00:38:53,080
[LeBrecht] At camp,
I was in a whole other world.

My first girlfriend,
and I'm popular, and I'm...

581
00:38:58,919 --> 00:39:02,923
And I'm going back to this world
in which it's hard to get around.

582
00:39:03,841 --> 00:39:06,427
Sometimes I would just, like,
go home after high school

and go to bed for a few hours
and just get away from the world.

584
00:39:11,474 --> 00:39:14,435
I have friends, but I'm the only person
with a disability.

585
00:39:16,812 --> 00:39:18,439
I had to try to adapt.

586
00:39:19,482 --> 00:39:22,693
I had to fit into this world
that wasn't built for me.

587
00:39:23,527 --> 00:39:26,989
It never dawned on me
that the world was ever going to change.

588
00:39:30,576 --> 00:39:36,749
Most disabled people, like myself,
are unable to use public transportation

589
00:39:36,832 --> 00:39:38,959
because it discriminates
against the disabled

590
00:39:39,043 --> 00:39:42,213
due to the fact
that it's architecturally inaccessible.

596
00:40:01,357 --> 00:40:04,235
Some human societies
have been equally harsh.

597
00:40:04,318 --> 00:40:07,863
Down through the centuries,
our literature, and recently, our movies,

598
00:40:07,947 --> 00:40:10,783
are full of monstrous,
misunderstood creatures.

599
00:40:11,283 --> 00:40:14,161
Through this conditioning,
we come to think of the handicapped

600
00:40:14,245 --> 00:40:17,123
as objects of fear or pity or loathing.

601
00:40:17,915 --> 00:40:21,544

a political organization
of the handicapped.

604
00:40:33,097 --> 00:40:36,684
I think one of the real problems is that,
when you grow up being disabled,

605
00:40:36,767 --> 00:40:40,312
um, it's the fact that you're not
considered either a man or a woman

606
00:40:40,396 --> 00:40:43,983
and even the beginning
of any kind of a relationship,

607
00:40:44,066 --> 00:40:49,280
you know, beginning at all because you're
just thought of as a disabled person.

-[woman] Asexual.

-[woman] Asexual. Right.

00:40:52,575 --> 00:40:53,951

and "Can you do that?"

611
00:40:54,034 --> 00:40:55,161
[Pat Figueroa] Let me give you
an indication of that.

612
00:40:55,244 --> 00:40:57,246
We have an elevator operator in school

613
00:40:57,329 --> 00:41:01,208
that whenever he stops on a floor
and there are a couple wheelchairs,

614
00:41:01,292 --> 00:41:04,420
people in wheelchairs waiting,
he starts yelling,

615
00:41:04,503 --> 00:41:06,297
"All right,
get these wheelchairs in here."

616
00:41:06,380 --> 00:41:08,591
And he doesn't take into consideration
the people in...

617
00:41:08,674 --> 00:41:10,092
You know, the... the...

618
00:41:10,176 --> 00:41:11,177
[woman] The people in the wheelchairs.

619
00:41:11,260 --> 00:41:13,137
Yeah, the person there.
It's just wheelchairs to him.

620
00:41:13,971 --> 00:41:17,516
[Heumann] I don't think I felt,
really, shame about my disability.

621
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,852
What I felt more was exclusion.

622
00:41:21,061 --> 00:41:24,523
For me, the camp experience
really was empowering,

623
00:41:24,607 --> 00:41:27,651
because we helped empower each other

624
00:41:27,735 --> 00:41:30,905
that the status quo
is not what it needed to be.

625
00:41:32,781 --> 00:41:36,535
Disabled in Action was started
as a result of a lawsuit

626
00:41:36,619 --> 00:41:40,080
that I had brought against
the Board of Education in New York City.

627
00:41:41,582 --> 00:41:46,420
There was publicity going on and we set up
all these different committees.

628
00:41:46,962 --> 00:41:50,466
One of the first things
that Disabled in Action worked on

629
00:41:50,549 --> 00:41:52,843
was on deinstitutionalization.

630
00:41:56,263 --> 00:41:59,475
[narrator] There are some aspects of life
which society has hidden from public view.

631
00:41:59,558 --> 00:42:02,853
The following program
will remind you that they exist

632
00:42:02,937 --> 00:42:05,940
and that we all bear
a responsibility to humanity.

633
00:42:07,399 --> 00:42:10,236
[LeBrecht] I remember watching TV
one evening before dinner

634
00:42:10,319 --> 00:42:16,408
and on comes this exposé
about this state hospital in New York

635
00:42:16,492 --> 00:42:17,701
called Willowbrook.

636
00:42:17,785 --> 00:42:20,454
[Rivera] The early morning mist
gave the place an eerie feeling

637
00:42:20,538 --> 00:42:22,331
like a set from a horror movie.

638
00:42:22,414 --> 00:42:25,376
And once inside,
that feeling became suddenly appropriate.

639
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,754
The doctor had warned me
that it would be bad.

640
00:42:28,837 --> 00:42:29,672
It was horrible.

641
00:42:30,339 --> 00:42:35,052
There was one attendant for perhaps 50
severely and profoundly retarded children.

642
00:42:35,135 --> 00:42:38,389
Lying on the floor naked
and smeared with their own feces,

643
00:42:38,472 --> 00:42:40,224
they were making a pitiful sound.

644
00:42:40,307 --> 00:42:44,228
The kind of mournful wail
that it's impossible for me to forget.

645
00:42:45,604 --> 00:42:49,358
[LeBrecht] It was really shocking.
It was just, like, how could this be?

646
00:42:50,317 --> 00:42:51,860
[staff member]
The kids can't feed themselves.

647
00:42:51,944 --> 00:42:54,989
There are so few attendants
that there's only an average of, in time,

648
00:42:55,072 --> 00:42:57,616
three minutes per child for feeding.

649
00:42:57,700 --> 00:43:00,369
[Rivera] How much time would be
needed to do a job adequately?

650
00:43:01,036 --> 00:43:03,789
[staff member] The same amount of time
that your children and my children

651
00:43:03,872 --> 00:43:05,374
would wanna have to eat breakfast.

652
00:43:06,875 --> 00:43:08,669
[LeBrecht] I suddenly remembered
one summer,

653
00:43:08,752 --> 00:43:11,589
there had been a camper at Camp Jened
from Willowbrook.

654
00:43:13,882 --> 00:43:18,012
I remember being in the dining hall
and this guy comes in.

655
00:43:18,095 --> 00:43:22,266
He was basically just eating
as much as he could.

656
00:43:22,349 --> 00:43:23,517
He was just...

657
00:43:23,601 --> 00:43:26,520
Kept on shoveling it in
until the point where he threw up.

658
00:43:28,606 --> 00:43:31,817
It was kind of like
somebody coming in from the wild.

659
00:43:34,486 --> 00:43:38,073
[Rivera] What's the consequence of
three minutes per meal per child?

660
00:43:38,616 --> 00:43:40,284
[staff member] The consequence
is death from pneumonia.

661
00:43:41,702 --> 00:43:46,040
[Heumann] I had never seen
the inside of an institution like this.

662
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:52,588
The chaos that existed
was frightening to me

663
00:43:52,671 --> 00:43:56,800
because I recognized that
myself and other friends

664
00:43:56,884 --> 00:44:00,763
could have easily been
in this institution.

665
00:44:03,724 --> 00:44:06,602
At the time, people still
were not thinking of

666
00:44:06,685 --> 00:44:10,356
what was wrong
with the Willowbrooks of the country.

667
00:44:11,565 --> 00:44:14,526
The civil rights movement
was going on around us

668
00:44:14,610 --> 00:44:18,739
and that was an opportunity to talk about
why were we excluded,

669
00:44:18,822 --> 00:44:19,865
and what did we need to do?

670
00:44:22,409 --> 00:44:25,204
There weren't anti-discrimination laws
at the federal level.

671
00:44:25,287 --> 00:44:28,165
But members in the Senate and House

672
00:44:28,248 --> 00:44:31,168
were looking for avenues
to make that happen.

673
00:44:31,919 --> 00:44:37,966
The Rehabilitation Act in 1972
was a perfect vehicle.

674
00:44:38,592 --> 00:44:43,305
Buried at the end of the bill
was Section 504,

675
00:44:43,389 --> 00:44:45,557
an anti-discrimination provision.

676
00:44:46,809 --> 00:44:51,897
The language was drawn from
civil rights legislation in the 1960s.

677
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,276
It was gonna mean that anybody
who got federal money,

678
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:01,073
hospitals, education, transportation,
on and on,

679
00:45:01,156 --> 00:45:03,909
was gonna have to not discriminate.

680
00:45:03,992 --> 00:45:07,746
It was like a "yahoo" wonderful moment.

681
00:45:08,497 --> 00:45:09,873
And Nixon vetoed it.

682
00:45:11,583 --> 00:45:15,879
The President has vetoed a bill setting up
a vocational rehabilitation program

683
00:45:15,963 --> 00:45:17,714
because he said it would cost too much.

684
00:45:18,674 --> 00:45:22,219
[William Ronan] It would be just
impossible in terms of its financial cost

685
00:45:22,302 --> 00:45:24,555
to put in elevators or ramps
in all these stations.

686
00:45:24,638 --> 00:45:27,683
Just costs would be horrendous
in terms of their total.

687
00:45:28,183 --> 00:45:31,687
The problem here is,
as with all of this question,

688
00:45:31,770 --> 00:45:34,356
how many people
would really be served by it?

689
00:45:40,154 --> 00:45:43,866
[Heumann] Disabled in Action decided
to have a demonstration in New York City

690
00:45:43,949 --> 00:45:45,993
in front of Nixon headquarters.

691
00:45:48,245 --> 00:45:50,497
[young Heumann] We decided that
we were gonna sit down in the street

692
00:45:50,581 --> 00:45:51,999
and we were gonna stop traffic.

693
00:45:52,082 --> 00:45:56,086
So at 4:30 in the afternoon,
we formed this huge circle.

694
00:45:56,170 --> 00:45:58,046
We cut off four streets.

695
00:45:58,130 --> 00:45:59,506
[horns honking]

696
00:45:59,590 --> 00:46:01,258
[Freeman] You get the call to action.

697
00:46:01,341 --> 00:46:03,760
"To the barricades!"
You know, Judy would call it.

698
00:46:05,721 --> 00:46:09,433
I remember being on the ground
with these big trucks coming at you,

699
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:10,809
going, "Whoa."

700
00:46:13,187 --> 00:46:15,564
[Bronston] It was
a very unusual demonstration.

701
00:46:15,647 --> 00:46:19,651
People were not used to seeing
a whole lot of folks in wheelchairs.

702
00:46:19,735 --> 00:46:20,777
And you had to back up.

703
00:46:20,861 --> 00:46:22,863
I mean, you had to back up

704
00:46:22,946 --> 00:46:25,282
if you were on the wrong side
in front of that young woman.

705
00:46:27,034 --> 00:46:31,371
[announcer on TV] The newswatch
never stops. This is WINS...

706
00:46:32,122 --> 00:46:33,081
[young Heumann] They were announcing,

707
00:46:33,165 --> 00:46:36,043
"Paraplegics stop traffic
in Manhattan."

708
00:46:40,631 --> 00:46:42,007
[Heumann] There were only 50 of us.

709
00:46:42,090 --> 00:46:46,887
But basically, with the one street,
we were able to shut the city down.

710
00:46:54,811 --> 00:46:57,439
[Bronston] Those DIA demonstrations
were the first time

711
00:46:57,523 --> 00:47:02,903
a real, serious, radical agenda
was mobilized.

712
00:47:10,452 --> 00:47:13,163
[LeBrecht] When I heard about DIA,
I really wanted to join,

713
00:47:13,247 --> 00:47:15,749
but I often couldn't go
'cause I was stuck in high school.

714
00:47:16,917 --> 00:47:19,711
Judy would put out the call
that we're gonna show up to this event

715
00:47:19,795 --> 00:47:21,713
or we're going to demonstrate
about this or that,

716
00:47:21,797 --> 00:47:24,258
and when this call came out

717
00:47:24,341 --> 00:47:27,928
to go to this Martin Luther King
birthday gathering, I had to go.

718
00:47:30,347 --> 00:47:33,600
So I took the train down from Hartsdale
to Grand Central Station.

719
00:47:35,852 --> 00:47:38,564
And going to Grand Central Station,
it's so freaking huge.

720
00:47:39,398 --> 00:47:42,192
That day, I couldn't find
a ramp or an elevator.

721
00:47:46,989 --> 00:47:50,492
I had to climb out of my chair,
pull the wheelchair up behind me,

722
00:47:50,576 --> 00:47:53,996
so step by step, pull it up, push my...

723
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:56,915
Put myself up, pull it up, push myself up.

724
00:47:59,376 --> 00:48:00,335
But I made it.

725
00:48:01,378 --> 00:48:05,591
And I was there with Pat Figueroa,
one of the counselors from Camp Jened.

726
00:48:08,510 --> 00:48:09,761
[all chanting]

727
00:48:09,845 --> 00:48:12,806
[Heumann] In the spring of 1973,

728
00:48:12,889 --> 00:48:15,267
we decided we were gonna have
another demonstration.

729
00:48:15,350 --> 00:48:19,479
The bottom line was,
we were a small group of disabled people.

730
00:48:20,230 --> 00:48:24,526
We were getting very little coverage
from the media at the national level

731
00:48:24,610 --> 00:48:27,070
because we didn't have
any disabled veterans.

732
00:48:27,154 --> 00:48:29,448
And that was, you know,
the time of the Vietnam War.

733
00:48:30,282 --> 00:48:32,284
["Volunteers" by Jefferson Airplane
playing]

734
00:48:44,296 --> 00:48:45,672
They lied about the war in Vietnam.

735
00:48:45,756 --> 00:48:47,215
They've lied about
every damn thing in the world.

736
00:48:47,299 --> 00:48:50,177
They lied about Watergate,
and about how they're treating us.

737
00:48:50,260 --> 00:48:52,304
They're lying about how they're treating
the physically disabled

738
00:48:52,387 --> 00:48:53,680
and mentally retarded in this country.

739
00:48:53,764 --> 00:48:58,185
We wanted to be able to mobilize
disabled individuals in D.C.

740
00:48:58,268 --> 00:49:02,481
to express the feelings of the disabled
community around the United States,

741
00:49:02,564 --> 00:49:04,316
and that in unity we do have strength,

742
00:49:04,399 --> 00:49:07,069
and that we must expand the pie
that we're fighting from

743
00:49:07,152 --> 00:49:08,654
so that we don't have to fight each other,

744
00:49:08,737 --> 00:49:10,530
but that we can all get
our adequate services.

745
00:49:10,614 --> 00:49:12,282
That's really what this is getting into.

746
00:49:16,662 --> 00:49:18,080
[reporter] There's a minority in America

747
00:49:18,163 --> 00:49:21,708
that has only recently begun
to speak up and be heard.

748
00:49:22,501 --> 00:49:26,254
They face problems of discrimination
and prejudice in employment,

749
00:49:26,338 --> 00:49:29,758
education, transportation
and in just about every other aspect

750
00:49:29,841 --> 00:49:32,427
of what society considers everyday life.

751
00:49:33,595 --> 00:49:37,724
Until the last few years, they suffered
mostly in silence, but that's changing.

752
00:49:37,808 --> 00:49:40,936

and to get politically active.

to all the political pressure

758
00:49:54,074 --> 00:49:55,826
and he signs the rehab bill.

759
00:49:56,368 --> 00:49:58,995

to enforce Section 504.

That's really what's so critical about CIL

801
00:56:15,538 --> 00:56:19,250
is that, you know, it's not a card
that you get handed at the door,

802
00:56:19,334 --> 00:56:24,130
but it is kind of a demand that is
expected of people in this community

803
00:56:24,214 --> 00:56:26,800
and that is, if you don't respect yourself

My first experience of finding home

808
00:56:39,187 --> 00:56:41,898
I had always kind of pretended
like I wasn't disabled.

[young Heumann] You wanna live in a house,
then that's your right.

829
00:57:38,955 --> 00:57:40,081
You want a two-bedroom apartment,

830
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,459
we'll try to help you find
a two-bedroom apartment.

831
00:57:43,668 --> 00:57:48,006
And here is how you can apply for money
to get attendants paid for.

832
00:57:48,882 --> 00:57:50,842
[attendant] Want me
to get anything while I'm out?

833
00:57:50,925 --> 00:57:52,093
-Yes.
-[attendant] What?

834
00:57:52,177 --> 00:57:53,094
Ice cream.

835
00:57:53,178 --> 00:57:54,345
[attendant] Ice cream? What else?

836
00:57:54,429 --> 00:57:55,305
Candy.

837
00:57:55,388 --> 00:57:56,264
[attendant] And candy.

838
00:57:57,849 --> 00:58:02,312
When that whole gang of
the Camp Jened kids started to come,

839
00:58:02,395 --> 00:58:03,271
they were like this.

840
00:58:03,354 --> 00:58:05,315
Like, so... If you socialized with one,

841
00:58:05,398 --> 00:58:08,193
like, "Oh, hey, you wanna hang out
on Friday night?" "Yes."

842
00:58:08,276 --> 00:58:11,362
But it always meant one of those people,
if not five of those people,

843
00:58:11,446 --> 00:58:12,530
were always gonna be there.

844
00:58:13,323 --> 00:58:15,033
You know, camp kind of traveled with them.

845
00:58:15,116 --> 00:58:17,243
There was like
the traveling Camp Jened show.

846
00:58:18,203 --> 00:58:19,496
How did I first hear about it?

847
00:58:19,579 --> 00:58:22,665
Well, obviously, I heard about it
from Steve, who was out here.

848
00:58:22,749 --> 00:58:25,084
Neil had the computer training program.

849
00:58:27,504 --> 00:58:30,548
[Neil speaking]

850
00:58:37,305 --> 00:58:42,185
[Denise speaking]

851
00:59:05,792 --> 00:59:08,336
[women exclaiming and laughing]

852
00:59:10,421 --> 00:59:12,882
[Freeman] They took me
to a Halloween party at CIL.

853
00:59:13,466 --> 00:59:15,343
I remember that day, it was...

854
00:59:15,426 --> 00:59:16,261
Oh, my God!

855
00:59:16,928 --> 00:59:19,514
They were all drunk
and carrying on. [laughs]

856
00:59:19,597 --> 00:59:25,979
And these people, all these cripples,
were dressed in costumes.

857
00:59:27,230 --> 00:59:28,147
And...

858
00:59:28,731 --> 00:59:31,234
I don't know. I always felt
you had to kinda hide yourself.

859
00:59:31,317 --> 00:59:32,860
You didn't want to draw attention.

860
00:59:35,154 --> 00:59:37,407
And there they were, like, all proud.

861
00:59:37,490 --> 00:59:40,577
It really struck me.
Like this is... This is different.

862
00:59:40,660 --> 00:59:41,786
This is really different.

863
00:59:47,333 --> 00:59:50,837
[announcer] Next we have
Steven Hofmann, 28.

864
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:52,964
He's a transvestite by trade.

865
00:59:53,715 --> 00:59:56,884
He likes to work with handicapped children
and other animals.

866
00:59:56,968 --> 00:59:59,178
His ambition is to be a headless amoeba

867
00:59:59,262 --> 01:00:02,640
with a lot of large,
thickly-endowed boyfriends.

[reporter] Good evening, Judy.
Good to see you again.

880
01:01:15,254 --> 01:01:17,965
How has the situation changed since 1973?

881
01:01:18,049 --> 01:01:20,468
Are you still as upset and angry
as you were then?

882
01:01:21,511 --> 01:01:23,846
I think that
what I've tried to do in part,

883
01:01:23,930 --> 01:01:29,686
is to turn some of that anger around
and put it into, um, positive action.

884
01:01:30,603 --> 01:01:34,065
And outside the fact that legislation
has been passed,

885
01:01:34,148 --> 01:01:37,151
there's been very little
actual enforcement.

886
01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:40,196
[reporter] Federal law prohibits

887
01:01:40,279 --> 01:01:42,323
discrimination against
handicapped persons.

888
01:01:42,407 --> 01:01:45,868
An organization of the handicapped
claims that law has been ignored.

889
01:01:45,952 --> 01:01:48,871
Today there were demonstrations
at 11 regional offices

890
01:01:48,955 --> 01:01:51,624
of the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare across the nation.

891
01:01:52,500 --> 01:01:54,210
[Heumann] Carter had been elected.

892
01:01:54,293 --> 01:01:57,880
They had said that the regulations
would be adopted,

893
01:01:57,964 --> 01:02:01,092
but when Secretary Califano

894
01:02:01,175 --> 01:02:05,930
became head of Health, Education
and Welfare, he began to do a review.

895
01:02:07,014 --> 01:02:08,975
[reporter]
Handicapped citizens demonstrated

896
01:02:09,058 --> 01:02:11,018
at Health, Education and Welfare today.

897
01:02:11,102 --> 01:02:15,565
They accuse Secretary Califano
of weakening and delaying regulations

898
01:02:15,648 --> 01:02:20,361
to implement the 1973 law to protect
the rights of the handicapped.

899
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,990
We have maintained this position

900
01:02:24,073 --> 01:02:26,534
for almost three years now,

901
01:02:27,326 --> 01:02:32,081
but, apparently, when Mr. Califano
became secretary,

902
01:02:32,165 --> 01:02:35,293
he said, "This is a whole new ball game."

903
01:02:35,376 --> 01:02:38,254
To us, it is not.
We're still in the same game.

904
01:02:38,838 --> 01:02:40,965

905
01:02:41,048 --> 01:02:46,971
[all chanting] 504! 504! 504!

906
01:02:57,523 --> 01:03:00,026
I have reviewed those regulations.

907
01:03:01,194 --> 01:03:03,154
There are some difficult questions.

908
01:03:03,696 --> 01:03:04,906
The last administration

909
01:03:04,989 --> 01:03:08,117
took two and a half years
and decided not to move.

910
01:03:08,201 --> 01:03:09,577
I've had two and a half months.

911
01:03:10,286 --> 01:03:12,038
[protester 1] Why can't you move now?
What are you waiting for?

912
01:03:12,121 --> 01:03:14,165
Because I wanna make sure
I understand them--

913
01:03:14,248 --> 01:03:16,042
-[protester 1] No! It's one law!
-I will do the--

914
01:03:16,125 --> 01:03:18,628
-[protester 2] Boo!
-[protester 1] Not in May, now!

915
01:03:18,711 --> 01:03:19,712
[crowd clamoring]

916
01:03:24,675 --> 01:03:27,970
[Heumann] What we were hearing
is that lobbyists were coming in,

917
01:03:28,054 --> 01:03:30,681
wanting to make changes
in the regulations.

918
01:03:31,182 --> 01:03:34,435
Schools and universities,
and even hospitals,

919
01:03:34,519 --> 01:03:39,315
didn't want to have to spend the money
to make their buildings accessible.

920
01:03:39,398 --> 01:03:41,859
So, we believed that there was,
like, an imperative.

921
01:03:41,943 --> 01:03:43,736
That we had to act quickly.

922
01:03:44,695 --> 01:03:50,284
We were told, today, you heard it here,
that because of their failures,

923
01:03:51,619 --> 01:03:53,496
we are not to have...

924
01:03:54,872 --> 01:03:56,165
our civil rights.

925
01:03:56,749 --> 01:03:57,750
[crowd clamoring]

926
01:04:00,044 --> 01:04:03,756
[all protesters]
Sign or resign! Sign or resign!

927
01:04:04,340 --> 01:04:07,301
[reporter] Some of the protesters vowed
to stay outside of Califano's office

928
01:04:07,385 --> 01:04:09,220
until he signs the regulations.

929
01:04:09,804 --> 01:04:12,723
[woman] This coalition
is a part of a national movement

930
01:04:12,807 --> 01:04:16,143
and we're going to stick together and
continue to fight for our civil rights.

931
01:04:16,227 --> 01:04:17,228
[crowd cheering]

932
01:04:21,482 --> 01:04:23,651
[HolLynn D'Lil] I didn't even know
there was a national movement.

933
01:04:23,734 --> 01:04:26,654
And I didn't know what a 504 was.

934
01:04:27,446 --> 01:04:29,532
I was a girl from Texas.

935
01:04:31,033 --> 01:04:34,203
When I was 22, just right out of college,

936
01:04:34,287 --> 01:04:38,082
and I was on my way home one day
and a truck ran me off the road

937
01:04:38,165 --> 01:04:40,668
and so I became a paraplegic.

938
01:04:41,669 --> 01:04:44,297
I had all the assumptions and prejudices

939
01:04:44,380 --> 01:04:48,342
that people have about people
with disabilities and about disabilities,

940
01:04:48,426 --> 01:04:50,219
and suddenly I was one.

941
01:04:52,722 --> 01:04:55,558
I'd never been around
so many people with disabilities

942
01:04:55,641 --> 01:04:59,312
and so many different
kinds of disabilities, all in one place

943
01:04:59,395 --> 01:05:02,189
and all chanting about rights. [chuckles]

944
01:05:05,234 --> 01:05:08,988
I'd never really thought about it
as applying to me.

945
01:05:09,739 --> 01:05:13,826
And I called Ms. Magazine,
and they gave me an assignment.

946
01:05:14,493 --> 01:05:16,829
So I went back there with my camera.

947
01:05:16,913 --> 01:05:20,166
[man over PA] We people who
are here in the Bay must stay together.

948
01:05:20,249 --> 01:05:23,085
We are the strongest political force
in this country.

949
01:05:23,169 --> 01:05:27,673
We are young, we are sensitive,
and we are intelligent.

950
01:05:28,758 --> 01:05:29,884
Let's stay together.

951
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,847
[Dennis Billups] I was asked
to go to the demonstration by my sister.

952
01:05:34,931 --> 01:05:37,350
And I said, "Okay. I'll give it a shot."

953
01:05:38,601 --> 01:05:40,978
And then all of a sudden, someone said,

954
01:05:41,062 --> 01:05:44,231
"Well, let's go in the building. You know,
what are we gonna do, stand outside?"

955
01:05:44,899 --> 01:05:46,567
So I headed toward the building.

956
01:05:47,777 --> 01:05:48,694
[D'Lil] The speeches were over

957
01:05:48,778 --> 01:05:51,447
and I followed this group of people
into the building.

958
01:05:51,530 --> 01:05:55,117
There must have been 300 people
and they went up to the fourth floor

959
01:05:55,201 --> 01:05:57,995
and they went into the office
of the regional director.

960
01:05:58,079 --> 01:06:01,499
Now, what's he gonna do
with all these people in wheelchairs?

961
01:06:01,582 --> 01:06:06,587
[protesters chanting] 504! 504! 504!

962
01:06:06,671 --> 01:06:08,798
[young Heumann] We are not asking
anything unreasonable.

963
01:06:08,881 --> 01:06:11,842
We are asking you to request
a telephone call

964
01:06:11,926 --> 01:06:14,136
to talk to Joseph Califano.

965
01:06:14,971 --> 01:06:20,351
Mr. Lebossi, the general counsel for HEW,
has been designated as the person

966
01:06:20,434 --> 01:06:22,561
that I should discuss these matters with,
and if you...

The more I sat in this room

the angrier I got,

970
01:06:27,149 --> 01:06:30,778
and that's when people started
really feeling like we couldn't leave,

971
01:06:30,861 --> 01:06:33,406
because no one knew
what we were talking about,

972
01:06:33,489 --> 01:06:36,325

trying to rescind the regulations.

HEW headquarters

995
01:07:49,190 --> 01:07:50,816
now is in its third day.

996
01:07:50,900 --> 01:07:53,319
Hot water has been turned off
on the fourth floor,

997
01:07:53,402 --> 01:07:56,197
where the occupation army of cripples
has taken over.

998
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:57,698
[O'Toole] The FBI cut off the phones.

999
01:07:58,449 --> 01:08:00,659
They said we couldn't
have any communication.

1000
01:08:00,743 --> 01:08:02,536
So, we're like, "Okay, what do we do?"

1001
01:08:02,620 --> 01:08:04,330
And the deaf people went...

1002
01:08:04,830 --> 01:08:05,831
"We know what to do."

1003
01:08:06,874 --> 01:08:08,709
Someone would sign out the window.

1004
01:08:08,793 --> 01:08:12,546
That's how we communicated back and forth
to the people outside the building.

1005
01:08:13,130 --> 01:08:15,466
Uh, one fellow, who's right behind me
and asleep right now,

1006
01:08:15,549 --> 01:08:17,051
built us a refrigerator.

1007
01:08:17,927 --> 01:08:21,388
He attached some plastic
to an air conditioner

1008
01:08:21,472 --> 01:08:24,975
and built it out of cardboard
and stuff that was around.

1009
01:08:25,059 --> 01:08:27,311
So, we've been able to keep
a lot of stuff cold.

1010
01:08:27,394 --> 01:08:28,896
[Billups] There were just so many people

1011
01:08:28,979 --> 01:08:31,482
trying to figure out
how to eat, how to wash.

1012
01:08:31,565 --> 01:08:34,318
"Where are we gonna get food?
Where are we gonna get blankets?"

1013
01:08:35,277 --> 01:08:39,490
Brad Lomax was the one who had the idea
to call the Black Panthers.

1014
01:08:39,573 --> 01:08:41,283
Brad could hardly speak,

1015
01:08:41,367 --> 01:08:45,246
but he could gesture [laughs]
and he got his point across.

1016
01:08:48,707 --> 01:08:50,751
[O'Toole] The Panthers would bring
a hot meal for dinner

1017
01:08:50,835 --> 01:08:53,379
and then they would leave food
for breakfast and lunch.

1018
01:08:54,130 --> 01:08:56,549
For nothing. No money, no nothing.

1019
01:08:58,717 --> 01:09:02,388
I ended up, you know, after the meeting
I said to this guy, "I don't get it.

1020
01:09:02,471 --> 01:09:05,182
You're the Black Panther Party
and you don't have a ton of resources."

1021
01:09:06,100 --> 01:09:08,018
You know, they had a food kitchen
in Oakland.

1022
01:09:08,102 --> 01:09:09,895
"Why are you choosing to feed us?"

1023
01:09:11,188 --> 01:09:12,606
He said to me, you know,

1024
01:09:12,690 --> 01:09:15,109
"You are trying to make the world
a better place

1025
01:09:15,192 --> 01:09:16,569
and that's what we are about.

1026
01:09:16,652 --> 01:09:19,363
We are about making the world
a better place for everybody.

1027
01:09:19,446 --> 01:09:22,449
So, if you're gonna go to the trouble
to stay here and sleep on this floor,

1028
01:09:22,533 --> 01:09:24,285
we're gonna make sure you get fed."

1029
01:09:24,368 --> 01:09:26,245
You know, that's how we survived.

1030
01:09:27,538 --> 01:09:30,374
[man] We have a cafeteria.
We have a conference room.

1031
01:09:30,457 --> 01:09:33,294
We have beds all over the place,
mattresses, food.

1032
01:09:34,211 --> 01:09:35,129
It's incredible.

1033
01:09:36,422 --> 01:09:40,926
[Heumann] Our support was much broader
than just within the disability community.

1034
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,347
Union members
and other civil rights organizations.

1035
01:09:46,098 --> 01:09:48,976
We had relationships
with local government.

1036
01:09:49,685 --> 01:09:52,146
The mayor was clearly in support.

1037
01:09:52,229 --> 01:09:55,900
One of the secretaries in Sacramento
sent down mattresses.

1038
01:09:57,234 --> 01:10:02,072
Glide Memorial Church,
which was run by a progressive minister.

1039
01:10:02,156 --> 01:10:04,909
We are a people who believe in liberation!

1040
01:10:04,992 --> 01:10:05,993
[crowd applauding]

1041
01:10:07,077 --> 01:10:09,580
[Heumann] It was the right place,
the right time.

1042
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,751
[O'Toole] One of the women who ran
the big lesbian bar in the East Bay

1043
01:10:13,834 --> 01:10:16,420
came and said, "What do you guys need?"

1044
01:10:16,503 --> 01:10:19,548
And we said,
"We're so tired of being dirty."

1045
01:10:19,632 --> 01:10:21,091
And, so, her partner was a nurse

1046
01:10:21,175 --> 01:10:24,929
and they went out and bought a gallon
of shampoo and a gallon of cream rinse.

1047
01:10:25,012 --> 01:10:25,888
And, one night, just showed up.

1048
01:10:25,971 --> 01:10:29,141
And for three hours, anybody that wanted
their hair washed got their hair washed.

1049
01:10:29,225 --> 01:10:31,560

[O'Toole] You can't imagine
what the 504 sit-in was like.

1055
01:10:44,323 --> 01:10:45,616
It was camp.

1056
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,869
Everything we learned at crip camp
was what we did there.

1057
01:10:51,705 --> 01:10:53,916
[LeBrecht] So many people from Camp Jened,

1058
01:10:53,999 --> 01:10:57,461
campers, counselors,
disabled, non-disabled

1059
01:10:57,544 --> 01:10:59,088

of the names of people
who are going to be speaking tomorrow.

1064
01:11:20,442 --> 01:11:24,947
[Heumann] There were many different
committees that were working on media

1065
01:11:25,030 --> 01:11:29,660
and food and medical issues
and different things like that.

1066

...the hunger strike.
Anyone here who wants to...

1070
01:11:42,798 --> 01:11:46,635
[D'Lil] We could not begin a meeting
until there was a sign interpreter there.

1071
01:11:47,261 --> 01:11:49,596
The meetings would go
until three o'clock in the morning.

1072
01:11:50,222 --> 01:11:54,560
[Heumann] People have to be engaged
and feeling like they made a difference.

1073
01:11:55,352 --> 01:11:58,397
Otherwise, people weren't gonna stay there
all that time.

[young Billups] It is evolving into
a coalition.

1079
01:12:12,328 --> 01:12:16,040
The more we talk, the more we discuss,
the more we change and regroup,

1080
01:12:16,123 --> 01:12:21,295
and the more we learn about our own
handicap inside of our own coalition.

1081
01:12:21,378 --> 01:12:24,798
Learning sign language, learning Braille,

1082
01:12:24,882 --> 01:12:29,970
learning about hidden disabilities
like epilepsy, arthritis,

1083
01:12:30,471 --> 01:12:32,514
and learning
about all of our disabilities,

1084
01:12:32,598 --> 01:12:35,142
we will become a tighter and firmer group.

1085
01:12:37,311 --> 01:12:39,688
[reporter] The demonstration here
is now in its fourth day.

1086
01:12:39,772 --> 01:12:42,483
It is by far the largest
and longest protest

1087
01:12:42,566 --> 01:12:45,110
ever organized by disabled people
in this area.

1088
01:12:45,194 --> 01:12:48,697
But the problem is still the same
as it was on Tuesday.

1089
01:12:48,781 --> 01:12:51,367
Trying to get the attention of Washington.

1090
01:12:54,661 --> 01:12:56,997
[LeBrecht]
I'm amazed at how many people stayed.

1091
01:12:58,248 --> 01:13:00,000
And what these people had to endure.

1092
01:13:01,460 --> 01:13:03,379
Not having a back-up ventilator.

1093
01:13:04,254 --> 01:13:07,132
Not having your usual
personal care attendant.

1094
01:13:07,216 --> 01:13:09,259
Not having access to catheters.

1095
01:13:10,677 --> 01:13:13,222
It's hard enough for me
to take care of my body.

1096
01:13:13,305 --> 01:13:16,725
Here we're talking about quadriplegics
who can't turn themselves

1097
01:13:16,809 --> 01:13:19,061
during the middle of the night
to prevent body sores.

1098
01:13:19,895 --> 01:13:23,857
And to be sleeping on the floor?
I mean, that's a recipe for disaster.

1099
01:13:26,693 --> 01:13:29,071
[O'Toole]
It's like the world always wants us dead.

1100
01:13:29,154 --> 01:13:31,156
Disabled people know that
every day of our lives.

1101
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:34,076
The world doesn't want us around
and wants us dead.

1102
01:13:35,077 --> 01:13:38,455
We live with that reality,
so there's always gonna be, uh,

1103
01:13:38,539 --> 01:13:40,791
"Am I gonna survive? Am I gonna push back?

1104
01:13:40,874 --> 01:13:43,085
Am I gonna fight to be here?"
That's always true.

1105
01:13:44,628 --> 01:13:48,006
So, if you wanna call that anger,
I call it kind of drive.

1106
01:13:48,090 --> 01:13:51,093
You know, you have to be willing to thrive
or you're not gonna make it.

1107
01:13:52,553 --> 01:13:53,554
I can work.

1108
01:13:53,637 --> 01:13:55,931
My mind functions, my hands function.

1109
01:13:56,014 --> 01:13:59,226
Many of us can work.
That's all we're saying.

1110
01:13:59,309 --> 01:14:01,395
Remove the architectural barriers.

1111
01:14:02,187 --> 01:14:05,023
[Heumann] For a number of days,
a number of us went on a hunger strike.

1112
01:14:06,733 --> 01:14:10,487
We were drinking, like,
two or three glasses of liquid a day.

1113
01:14:17,119 --> 01:14:20,789
[D'Lil] I know the pressure on Judy
had to be very harsh.

1114
01:14:21,748 --> 01:14:25,794
It's a lot of responsibility,
and it was Judy who was saying often,

1115
01:14:25,878 --> 01:14:27,629
one individual at a time,

1116
01:14:27,713 --> 01:14:30,799
"Can you stay?
Can you stay just one more day?

1117
01:14:30,883 --> 01:14:33,010
Can you stay one more day?"

1118
01:14:33,093 --> 01:14:35,929
And that's how they did it, day by day.

1119
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:40,684
[reporter] This building's been
occupied for 11 days

1120
01:14:40,767 --> 01:14:42,769
by a small army of the handicapped.

1121
01:14:42,853 --> 01:14:45,397
-Support outside has increased each day.
-[protesters chanting]

1122
01:14:45,481 --> 01:14:47,399
[reporter] The sounds of that support
carry inside

1123
01:14:47,483 --> 01:14:50,611
to the offices of the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare.

1124
01:14:50,694 --> 01:14:53,864
[Evan White] I was at Channel 7,
which was on Golden Gate Avenue

1125
01:14:53,947 --> 01:14:55,949
just around the corner
from the Federal Building.

1126
01:14:56,492 --> 01:15:00,204
The local media damn near ignored
the entire event,

1127
01:15:00,954 --> 01:15:04,458
and I was virtually
the only one covering it the entire time.

1128
01:15:06,210 --> 01:15:08,504
[O'Toole] Evan White essentially
embedded with us.

1129
01:15:09,421 --> 01:15:12,299
He did footage of us
from beginning to end.

1130
01:15:13,884 --> 01:15:15,344
[White] I had the immense privilege

1131
01:15:15,427 --> 01:15:19,681
of being allowed to sit in
during the nightly sessions of strategy.

1132
01:15:19,765 --> 01:15:22,100
I was in heaven on that kind of story.
I just...

1133
01:15:22,893 --> 01:15:24,686
I like people who make trouble.

1134
01:15:25,771 --> 01:15:27,397
[O'Toole]
We were trying to push the agenda forward,

1135
01:15:27,481 --> 01:15:29,441
and so one of the thoughts was,

1136
01:15:29,525 --> 01:15:32,361
"Let's get Congress to come
to the building

1137
01:15:32,444 --> 01:15:34,404
and actually have congressional hearings
in the building."

1138
01:15:34,488 --> 01:15:35,906
'Cause we couldn't leave.

1139
01:15:38,534 --> 01:15:39,952
[reporter] The handicapped demand

1140
01:15:40,035 --> 01:15:42,496
that section 504
of the Civil Rights Act be signed.

1141
01:15:42,579 --> 01:15:44,957
Today their demand for action is heard
by two congressmen,

1142
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,334
Phillip Burton and George Miller.

1143
01:15:47,417 --> 01:15:50,837
My statement is one of militancy.
My statement is one of

1144
01:15:50,921 --> 01:15:53,173
support from disabled individuals
from around the country.

1145
01:15:53,257 --> 01:15:55,801
This is the beginning
of a civil rights movement

1146
01:15:55,884 --> 01:15:59,263
and we are proud that you are here to
help us launch this civil rights movement,

1147
01:15:59,346 --> 01:16:00,639
which is so long overdue.

1148
01:16:02,349 --> 01:16:05,352
[D'Lil] Califano, the Director of HEW,

1149
01:16:05,435 --> 01:16:11,650
sent this poor man named Eidenberg
to represent him at this ad hoc hearing

1150
01:16:11,733 --> 01:16:14,611
held by Congressmen Miller and Burton.

1151
01:16:14,695 --> 01:16:18,115
Right now, a searching analysis
is going on in Washington

1152
01:16:18,198 --> 01:16:21,702
with all deliberate speed,
tackling such diverse questions as:

1153
01:16:21,785 --> 01:16:24,121
Should drug addicts and alcoholics
be covered?

1154
01:16:24,621 --> 01:16:26,915
To what extent would every school
and hospital in this country

1155
01:16:26,999 --> 01:16:28,917
be required to remodel?

1156
01:16:29,001 --> 01:16:32,504
[D'Lil] And he had come in
with 20-something changes,

1157
01:16:32,588 --> 01:16:38,135
including instituting the shameful
doctrine of separate but equal.

1158
01:16:39,136 --> 01:16:42,472
A school district was allowed to
designate one school...

1159
01:16:43,390 --> 01:16:45,601
as the school
that children with disabilities

1160
01:16:45,684 --> 01:16:47,728
and students with disabilities
could go to.

1161
01:16:47,811 --> 01:16:51,064
Well, what's that?
That's separate but equal.

1162
01:16:51,857 --> 01:16:55,861
We knew it was Califano's
little dog and pony show.

1163
01:16:55,944 --> 01:16:59,072
He sends this poor guy in
to read these words,

1164
01:16:59,823 --> 01:17:02,367
because he's gonna put us
back in our place.

1165
01:17:02,451 --> 01:17:05,203
And then, he left the room.

1166
01:17:05,287 --> 01:17:08,248
And Congressman Burton said,
"Oh, no, no, no."

1167
01:17:08,332 --> 01:17:11,877
Mr. Eidenberg had locked himself
into an office,

1168
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,422
and Burton kicked at the door
and finally Eidenberg came out.

1169
01:17:16,715 --> 01:17:20,093
And Burton dragged Eidenberg
back into the room.

1170
01:17:20,177 --> 01:17:23,722
Made him sit at the front table
facing everybody in the audience,

1171
01:17:23,805 --> 01:17:26,308
so he could listen to our testimony.

1172
01:17:26,850 --> 01:17:28,852
[Miller] Somebody's gonna have to
pour concrete.

1173
01:17:28,935 --> 01:17:31,438
Somebody's gonna have to
knock down some walls,

1174
01:17:31,521 --> 01:17:35,275
and somebody's gonna have to make
school teachers and classrooms available.

1175
01:17:35,359 --> 01:17:39,196
But that is a price that we have said that
we've been willing to pay for 200 years,

1176
01:17:39,279 --> 01:17:41,865
to make people accessible
to the mainstream.

1177
01:17:42,574 --> 01:17:45,911
[voice breaking] Whether there was
a Section 504,

1178
01:17:47,371 --> 01:17:49,790
there was
a Brown versus Board of Education...

1179
01:17:55,170 --> 01:17:58,924
the... [exhales heavily] the harassment...

1180
01:18:00,342 --> 01:18:06,473
the, um, lack of equity that has been
provided for disabled individuals,

1181
01:18:07,182 --> 01:18:10,602
and that now is even being discussed
by the administration,

1182
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,898
is so intolerable
that I can't quite put it into words.

1183
01:18:15,649 --> 01:18:21,613
I can tell you that every time
you raise issues of separate but equal,

1184
01:18:22,447 --> 01:18:25,617
the outrage of disabled individuals
across this country...

1185
01:18:27,661 --> 01:18:30,539
is going to continue,
it is going to be ignited.

1186
01:18:30,622 --> 01:18:32,833
There will be more
takeovers of buildings...

1187
01:18:33,667 --> 01:18:37,754
until finally maybe you begin
to understand our position.

1188
01:18:38,547 --> 01:18:44,136
We will no longer allow the government
to opp... oppress disabled individuals.

1189
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:46,138
We want the law enforced.

1190
01:18:47,347 --> 01:18:50,016
We want no more segregation.

1191
01:18:50,100 --> 01:18:53,520
We will accept no more
discussion of segregation.

1192
01:18:55,272 --> 01:18:58,233
And I would appreciate it if you would
stop shaking your head in agreement

1193
01:18:58,316 --> 01:19:01,737
when I don't think you understand
what we are talking about.

1194
01:19:07,117 --> 01:19:11,204
[O'Toole] There are moments...
like, where history shifts.

1195
01:19:12,748 --> 01:19:14,666
Judy's interaction with that man

1196
01:19:14,750 --> 01:19:17,544
is the moment when things shifted
for so many people.

1197
01:19:18,545 --> 01:19:21,006
[D'Lil] What was Califano
thinking with this?

1198
01:19:21,089 --> 01:19:25,177
Well, he was thinking
he didn't have to pay attention to us.

1199
01:19:25,844 --> 01:19:29,723
That was instrumental
in making the leaders decide,

1200
01:19:29,806 --> 01:19:33,810
"We've gotta go to D.C.
We've gotta go get in his face."

1201
01:19:34,478 --> 01:19:37,522
[reporter] Today, a delegation of 25
left San Francisco,

1202
01:19:37,606 --> 01:19:39,232
heading for the nation's capital

1203
01:19:39,316 --> 01:19:42,068
where they hope to present their demands
directly to the President.

1204
01:19:42,152 --> 01:19:43,904
We are hopeful
that the President will see us.

1205
01:19:43,987 --> 01:19:48,241
We have gotten a lot of support
from organizations within the community

1206
01:19:48,325 --> 01:19:50,410
who are paying our way
to go to Washington.

1207
01:19:50,494 --> 01:19:52,913
And we are really hopeful
that we will come back

1208
01:19:52,996 --> 01:19:56,082
with success and the regulations signed
as we want them.

1209
01:19:56,875 --> 01:19:59,753
[White] At the San Francisco Airport,
leaving on this journey of determination,

1210
01:19:59,836 --> 01:20:01,588
Evan White, Channel 7 News Scene.

1211
01:20:07,177 --> 01:20:10,680
[Billups] I thought it was important
to let them know right off the plane

1212
01:20:10,764 --> 01:20:12,265
we were not playing.

1213
01:20:12,766 --> 01:20:15,435
So, I said,
"Well, what are we gonna do now?"

1214
01:20:15,519 --> 01:20:17,187
They says,
"Well, we could sleep until tomorrow."

1215
01:20:17,270 --> 01:20:18,563
I says, "Oh, no, we're not.

1216
01:20:19,397 --> 01:20:20,440
We're gonna go out there

1217
01:20:20,524 --> 01:20:22,234
and we're gonna sit in front
of Califano's house

1218
01:20:22,317 --> 01:20:26,655
and we're gonna let him know
that this is 504 and we're here."

1219
01:20:27,989 --> 01:20:31,076
[D'Lil] There was no
accessible transportation at the time,

1220
01:20:31,159 --> 01:20:36,748
so the machinist union very ingeniously
rented a U-Haul truck,

1221
01:20:36,832 --> 01:20:41,253
plastered their sign on the side of it,
and that's how we got around in D.C.

1222
01:20:41,336 --> 01:20:44,673
And we would sit in darkness
as we traveled around,

1223
01:20:44,756 --> 01:20:47,759
and we wouldn't know
where we were until we got there,

1224
01:20:47,843 --> 01:20:50,428
and they opened up the back,
and we could see out again.

1225
01:20:52,264 --> 01:20:54,850
We went straight to Califano's house

1226
01:20:54,933 --> 01:20:57,269
and held a candlelight vigil
outside of it.

1227
01:20:59,646 --> 01:21:02,732
[White] The cops came immediately,
police cars all around,

1228
01:21:02,816 --> 01:21:06,236
but they saw a bunch of people
in wheelchairs and on crutches

1229
01:21:06,319 --> 01:21:07,696
and they didn't wanna fuck with them.

1230
01:21:08,530 --> 01:21:11,533
So they didn't. They just parked
across the way and watched, all night.

1231
01:21:15,662 --> 01:21:17,289
[D'Lil] That morning, when the sun was up,

1232
01:21:17,956 --> 01:21:22,085
Judy and Evan White and his cameramen
were knocking on Califano's door.

1233
01:21:23,044 --> 01:21:24,170
And he never came out.

1234
01:21:24,254 --> 01:21:26,631
And somebody said
he took off out the back door.

1235
01:21:27,382 --> 01:21:30,051
The First Family used the side door today

1236
01:21:30,135 --> 01:21:32,178
to leave Washington's
First Baptist Church.

1237
01:21:32,262 --> 01:21:35,265
The Carters avoided
about 20 handicapped persons

1238
01:21:35,348 --> 01:21:39,144
demonstrating across the street
from the door the President normally uses.

1239
01:21:40,186 --> 01:21:41,271
[reporter] In Washington today,

1240
01:21:41,354 --> 01:21:43,857
more than 100 people marched
in front of the White House.

1241
01:21:43,940 --> 01:21:47,277
But it doesn't look as if Carter will see
the demonstrators personally,

1242
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:50,572
even though they've traveled there
from San Francisco for that very purpose.

1243
01:21:51,448 --> 01:21:53,408
[O'Toole] When the group of 22 left,

1244
01:21:53,491 --> 01:21:55,285
there's still, like,
a ton of us in San Francisco.

1245
01:21:56,411 --> 01:21:58,747
You know, then the FBI
really ratcheted it up.

1246
01:21:58,830 --> 01:22:02,834
There was, like, 3:00 a.m. fire alarms
and these bomb scares.

1247
01:22:03,543 --> 01:22:06,463
And our only job... [chuckles]
This was, like... You know Judy.

1248
01:22:06,546 --> 01:22:07,923
Our only job was, like,

1249
01:22:08,006 --> 01:22:11,092
[imitating Heumann]
"You don't leave until I call you."

1250
01:22:12,302 --> 01:22:15,847
"Yes. We won't leave until you call us."
[laughs]

1251
01:22:16,473 --> 01:22:18,516
We were more scared
of disappointing Judy Heumann

1252
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:22,812
than we ever were of the FBI
or the police department arresting us.

1253
01:22:23,688 --> 01:22:26,483
[D'Lil] People in D.C. were very stressed.

1254
01:22:26,566 --> 01:22:29,069
It should have been a big finale,
a big climax.

1255
01:22:29,152 --> 01:22:33,281
It should have made something happen,
shook something loose, and it didn't.

1256
01:22:34,449 --> 01:22:36,284
We didn't know what was gonna happen.

1257
01:22:37,577 --> 01:22:41,247
Three times that week
we went 36 hours without sleep.

1258
01:22:42,499 --> 01:22:46,127
The leaders just held strong and said,
"How can you give up?

1259
01:22:46,711 --> 01:22:50,131
It has to be done, and if not now, when?"

1260
01:22:55,971 --> 01:22:58,598
[woman 1] Does anyone know
where Dennis' cane is?

1261
01:22:58,682 --> 01:22:59,516
[woman 2] No.

1262
01:22:59,599 --> 01:23:02,018
[woman 3] Does anybody know
where Dennis' cane is?

1263
01:23:02,102 --> 01:23:02,978
[man 1] No smoking inside.

1264
01:23:03,061 --> 01:23:04,896
[Heumann] All right, we gotta go,
'cause we're not gonna--

1265
01:23:04,980 --> 01:23:07,023
[woman 4] Not supposed to
sit on the guitar.

1266
01:23:07,107 --> 01:23:09,442
[woman 5] There's room
on the floor here for somebody.

1267
01:23:10,860 --> 01:23:12,195
Judy, sing a song.

1268
01:23:12,904 --> 01:23:15,573
-[man 2] Ellen, is Bob Perkins up there?
-[Heumann singing "Amazing Grace"]

1269
01:23:15,657 --> 01:23:17,158
[woman 7] I think Nicky went for it.

1270
01:23:17,242 --> 01:23:19,160
[man 2] Ask him if he wants
to ride in here with us.

1271
01:23:19,244 --> 01:23:21,538
[Heumann continues singing]

1272
01:23:21,621 --> 01:23:22,455
[man 2] Okay.

1273
01:23:24,165 --> 01:23:25,250

1285
01:24:13,673 --> 01:24:14,549
-It is.
-But I've come 3,000 miles.

1286
01:24:14,632 --> 01:24:16,885
Can I ask why you did not meet
with the demonstrators this week?

1287
01:24:17,844 --> 01:24:20,889
Well, there's an illegal demonstration
going on in San Francisco.

1288
01:24:20,972 --> 01:24:23,516
And I just, uh, don't think
it's appropriate to do that.

1289
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,519
I understand you agreed to meet with them
and canceled that. Is that true?

1290
01:24:26,603 --> 01:24:27,479
Thank you.

1291
01:24:29,105 --> 01:24:30,648
He said he never made such an agreement,

1292
01:24:30,732 --> 01:24:33,568
this being an illegal contingent
of an illegal sit-in.

1293
01:24:34,194 --> 01:24:38,740
[D'Lil] Evan White was ready to send
all his materials back to San Francisco,

1294
01:24:38,823 --> 01:24:42,660
to Channel 7,
and there was a technician strike.

1295
01:24:42,744 --> 01:24:44,162
[imperceptible audio]

1296
01:24:44,788 --> 01:24:49,501
[White] ABC stations all over the country
were not getting very much news,

1297
01:24:49,584 --> 01:24:52,587
so the guys at ABC, the strike-breakers,

1298
01:24:52,670 --> 01:24:55,673
put it to every ABC station
in the country.

1299
01:24:55,757 --> 01:24:57,467
Evan White in Washington, D.C.

1300
01:24:57,550 --> 01:24:59,844
[protesters] One, two, three, four!
We're gonna get the 504!

1301
01:24:59,928 --> 01:25:02,514
[White] Well, they started getting
a little blowback.

1302
01:25:02,597 --> 01:25:04,432
People like Joe Califano

1303
01:25:04,516 --> 01:25:06,643
didn't give a shit if it was on
in San Francisco,

1304
01:25:06,726 --> 01:25:07,811
but it's everywhere.

1305
01:25:17,278 --> 01:25:18,780
-[man] Thank you.
-Yep.

1306
01:25:18,863 --> 01:25:19,781
[man] Watch your shadow.

1307
01:25:19,864 --> 01:25:21,741
[D'Lil] As it happened,
without any fanfare,

1308
01:25:22,450 --> 01:25:25,161
without letting the press know,
or we didn't even know,

1309
01:25:25,245 --> 01:25:29,749
Califano suddenly signed the regulations
the way we wanted 'em.

1310
01:25:30,333 --> 01:25:31,584
[laughs]

1311
01:25:31,668 --> 01:25:35,630
I think that this... this calls
for a revolution of attitudes

1312
01:25:35,713 --> 01:25:38,550
and thinking and activities

1313
01:25:38,633 --> 01:25:41,344
on behalf of
millions of American citizens.

1314
01:25:41,427 --> 01:25:43,054
[crowd cheering and applauding]

1315
01:25:51,563 --> 01:25:52,564
[reporter 1] When it was over,

1316
01:25:52,647 --> 01:25:55,316
Dusty Irvine shared bread
with her friends.

1317
01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:57,068
She had been on a hunger strike.

1318
01:25:57,152 --> 01:26:00,363
This was the first food
she had eaten in 23 days.

1319
01:26:03,283 --> 01:26:06,244
[reporter 2] In Washington, spokesmen
for the handicapped were pleased.

1320
01:26:06,327 --> 01:26:09,497
The Congress, the press,
the American public

1321
01:26:09,581 --> 01:26:13,334
has seen that we have stamina,
strength, intelligence, um,

1322
01:26:13,418 --> 01:26:14,586
as anyone else does.

1323
01:26:14,669 --> 01:26:17,130
That disabled individuals,
because they're disabled,

1324
01:26:17,213 --> 01:26:18,631
are not, by definition, sick.

1325
01:26:20,175 --> 01:26:23,178
[reporter 3] The new laws say
every handicapped child in the country

1326
01:26:23,261 --> 01:26:25,972
has a right to be educated
in public schools,

1327
01:26:26,055 --> 01:26:29,976
something the handicapped
have been waiting for for a long time.

1328
01:26:30,476 --> 01:26:34,689
It should have been implemented
20 years ago. [chuckles]

1329
01:26:34,772 --> 01:26:37,358
[reporter 4] Are you happy though,
or apprehensive or what?

1330
01:26:37,442 --> 01:26:39,444
Uh, I am very happy. Yes.

1331
01:26:39,527 --> 01:26:42,280
This shows that the country is waking up.

1332
01:26:42,363 --> 01:26:46,868
Finally, after all the pressure
and after all the agonizing,

1333
01:26:46,951 --> 01:26:48,870
and after the humiliating treatment--

1334
01:26:48,953 --> 01:26:52,081
People were treated in Washington, D.C.
and in San Francisco.

1335
01:26:54,083 --> 01:26:55,168
[cheers and applause]

1336
01:27:06,721 --> 01:27:10,808
[O'Toole] We literally believed
we could beat the US government.

1337
01:27:11,601 --> 01:27:12,936
Not only did we believe it...

1338
01:27:13,436 --> 01:27:15,188
but we fucking did it.

1339
01:27:15,271 --> 01:27:18,107
You know? [chuckles]
I mean, we did it, and it's like...

1340
01:27:19,025 --> 01:27:20,568
And we did it together.

1341
01:27:23,279 --> 01:27:27,533
And what the 504 sit-in did
is it took all these people,

1342
01:27:27,617 --> 01:27:29,619
deaf people
and people with intellectual disabilities

1343
01:27:29,702 --> 01:27:31,621
and learning disabilities
and blind people...

1344
01:27:31,704 --> 01:27:34,457
I mean, there was
this really wide range of people.

1345
01:27:35,875 --> 01:27:37,043
And we were all going,

1346
01:27:37,126 --> 01:27:39,837
"Well, I never heard that story before,
but I believe you

1347
01:27:39,921 --> 01:27:42,215
that that's your experience
of being locked up in a mental ward.

1348
01:27:42,298 --> 01:27:45,843
I believe you that that's your experience
in special ed. I believe you."

1349
01:27:48,137 --> 01:27:50,348
We were witnessing each other's truths.

1350
01:27:50,431 --> 01:27:52,100
[cheering continues]

1351
01:27:57,855 --> 01:27:59,649
We were giving each other, like,

1352
01:27:59,732 --> 01:28:02,610
"I see you, and I believe you."

1353
01:28:10,076 --> 01:28:15,331
[D'Lil] I didn't have a lot of self-esteem
when I became disabled,

1354
01:28:15,415 --> 01:28:18,418
so you can see why...
[chuckles and sniffles]

1355
01:28:19,877 --> 01:28:23,589
when 504 told me I had value...

1356
01:28:24,215 --> 01:28:25,341
it hit home.

1357
01:28:32,432 --> 01:28:35,435
[Freeman] I felt very, very proud
to be part of this community.

1358
01:28:35,518 --> 01:28:36,519
Very proud.

1359
01:28:36,602 --> 01:28:37,520
[Cone] We won! We won!

1360
01:28:37,603 --> 01:28:42,608
We showed strength and courage
and power and commitment!

1361
01:28:44,152 --> 01:28:47,238
That we the shut-ins or the shut-outs,

1362
01:28:47,322 --> 01:28:51,409
we the hidden,
supposedly the frail and the weak,

1363
01:28:51,492 --> 01:28:56,039
that we could wage a struggle
at the highest level of government

1364
01:28:56,122 --> 01:28:57,498
and win!

1365
01:28:57,582 --> 01:28:59,709
[protesters cheering]

1366
01:29:19,145 --> 01:29:21,189
[crowd applauding and cheering]

1367
01:29:22,982 --> 01:29:25,818
[LeBrecht] A year after the 504 sit-in,
I graduated college.

1368
01:29:26,986 --> 01:29:30,073
I finally got to join
my Camp Jened friends up in Berkeley.

1369
01:29:30,656 --> 01:29:32,367
I had gotten my dream job

1370
01:29:32,450 --> 01:29:36,287
as the resident sound designer
at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre.

1371
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:38,915
But the first two years I worked there,

1372
01:29:38,998 --> 01:29:41,292
there was no wheelchair access
to the sound booth.

1373
01:29:42,794 --> 01:29:45,088
There were these outdoor steps
I had to climb.

1374
01:29:45,588 --> 01:29:49,092
By the end of winter, there were, like,
mushrooms growing out of the carpet.

1375
01:29:51,302 --> 01:29:53,930
But because of the regulations
being signed,

1376
01:29:54,013 --> 01:29:57,642
the physical world around me
began to become more accessible.

1377
01:29:58,434 --> 01:30:00,895
-[woman] Hi, Judy.
-Hi, how are you?

1378
01:30:00,978 --> 01:30:04,607
[reporter] Funding from Section 504
has led to sweeping changes

1379
01:30:04,690 --> 01:30:08,402
in transportation, health care, education
and job opportunities.

1380
01:30:08,486 --> 01:30:12,907
Universities must now make their buildings
and facilities accessible to the disabled

1381
01:30:12,990 --> 01:30:16,369
and provide interpreters and readers
for the deaf and the blind.

1382
01:30:16,452 --> 01:30:20,123
All housing projects and public buildings
using federal money

1383
01:30:20,206 --> 01:30:23,042
must be made accessible
to people in wheelchairs.

1384
01:30:23,126 --> 01:30:25,753
It's really out in the streets of Berkeley

1385
01:30:25,837 --> 01:30:28,881
that you see the results
of the disabled civil rights movement.

1386
01:30:28,965 --> 01:30:33,886
Curb ramps designed by wheelchair users
allow travel almost anywhere in the city.

1387
01:30:34,887 --> 01:30:36,556
The implications are enormous.

1388
01:30:38,391 --> 01:30:42,019
[LeBrecht] In 1980, Berkeley Rep
opened a new, larger theater.

1389
01:30:43,771 --> 01:30:47,692
Because of 504, that new building
had to be accessible.

1390
01:30:52,238 --> 01:30:55,032
As the barriers around me
started to disappear,

1391
01:30:55,783 --> 01:30:58,661
I realized that this bar
I had set for myself,

1392
01:30:58,744 --> 01:31:02,373
that I had to overcome my disability,
it had taken a toll on me.

1393
01:31:04,709 --> 01:31:06,544
It was denying a part of who I am.

1394
01:31:10,006 --> 01:31:11,340
Ready, sound. Three, four.

1395
01:31:13,676 --> 01:31:18,764
I would like to say that, um,
I'm glad to be here tonight, but, um...

1396
01:31:20,850 --> 01:31:21,851
[exhales heavily]

1397
01:31:24,061 --> 01:31:26,355
-[crowd member 1] It's all right.
-[crowd member 2] We're behind you.

1398
01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:27,607
[crowd member 1] It's all right.

1399
01:31:28,608 --> 01:31:33,362
You know, on the one hand I'm feeling like
I should say everything is wonderful,

1400
01:31:34,739 --> 01:31:40,077
[voice breaking] and I don't feel, um,
that's at all what we talked about.

1401
01:31:40,161 --> 01:31:44,081
And I'm very tired of being thankful
for accessible toilets.

1402
01:31:44,165 --> 01:31:45,750
[crowd laughs]

1403
01:31:45,833 --> 01:31:48,753
I... I really am tired
of feeling that way,

1404
01:31:48,836 --> 01:31:53,841
when... I basically feel that, um...

1405
01:31:55,092 --> 01:31:58,763
if I have to feel thankful
about an accessible bathroom,

1406
01:31:58,846 --> 01:32:01,682
when am I ever gonna be equal
in the community?

1407
01:32:03,434 --> 01:32:04,435
[crowd applauds]

1408
01:32:10,441 --> 01:32:14,195
For decades,
we have piled deficit upon deficit,

1409
01:32:14,278 --> 01:32:17,073
mortgaging our future
and our children's future

1410
01:32:17,156 --> 01:32:20,076
for the temporary convenience
of the present.

1411
01:32:20,701 --> 01:32:24,622
[reporter 1] On May the 7th, Congress
was due to vote on budget proposals.

1412
01:32:24,705 --> 01:32:26,916
[reporter 2] The future for
disabled programs looked bleak.

1413
01:32:26,999 --> 01:32:30,002
Not only money,
but the hard-won legislation's at stake.

1414
01:32:30,086 --> 01:32:33,965
It wasn't too long ago we made this trek
so we could implement the laws.

1415
01:32:34,048 --> 01:32:37,301
And now you're here three years later
trying to say don't repeal them.

1416
01:32:37,385 --> 01:32:40,888
It's, uh... It's amazing
how it works in this system.

1417
01:32:41,472 --> 01:32:44,016
[reporter 3] Disabled protestors
closed down a street

1418
01:32:44,100 --> 01:32:45,810
in St. Louis, Missouri, on Sunday.

1419
01:32:46,394 --> 01:32:48,354
[LeBrecht] It was just
a continual struggle

1420
01:32:48,437 --> 01:32:51,315
to make sure
that the 504 regulations were enforced.

1421
01:32:51,399 --> 01:32:54,151
And on top of that,
504 only covered organizations

1422
01:32:54,235 --> 01:32:55,319
that were receiving federal money.

1423
01:32:55,403 --> 01:32:59,323
[officer over megaphone]
If you do not stop, you will be arrested.

1424
01:33:00,074 --> 01:33:02,994
[LeBrecht] Most public transportation
was not accessible,

1425
01:33:03,077 --> 01:33:05,413
employers could still discriminate,

1426
01:33:05,496 --> 01:33:08,416
and private businesses
didn't have to do anything at all.

1427
01:33:10,167 --> 01:33:12,795
We needed a civil rights law of our own.

1428
01:33:17,300 --> 01:33:19,635
[reporter] It is the latest struggle
for civil rights

1429
01:33:19,719 --> 01:33:22,430
and integration into the mainstream
of American life.

1430
01:33:22,513 --> 01:33:24,724
For more than 40 million Americans

1431
01:33:24,807 --> 01:33:28,019
who are physically or mentally
disabled, a new era is dawning.

1432
01:33:28,561 --> 01:33:30,688
A bill nearing passage in Congress

1433
01:33:30,771 --> 01:33:33,232
would mandate equal access
for the disabled

1434
01:33:33,316 --> 01:33:36,319
to employment, transportation,
and public places.

1435
01:33:36,402 --> 01:33:40,114
This legislation is a bill of rights
for the disabled,

1436
01:33:40,197 --> 01:33:42,575
and America will be a better
and fairer nation because of it.

1437
01:33:47,288 --> 01:33:48,539
[protesters] ADA!

1438
01:33:48,622 --> 01:33:49,790

01:34:04,513 --> 01:34:06,515

I'm gonna get there.

1443
01:34:06,599 --> 01:34:08,434
-Gonna get there!
-[man 2] Take your time.

1444
01:34:08,517 --> 01:34:11,729
[protester 1 chanting] ADA now!

1445
01:34:13,481 --> 01:34:17,401
[Keelan] I'll take all night if I have to.

1446
01:34:17,485 --> 01:34:19,153
[woman] Whoo!

1447
01:34:19,695 --> 01:34:21,364
[crowd cheering and encouraging]

1448
01:34:22,573 --> 01:34:24,492
-[protester 1] ADA now!
-[grunts]

1449
01:34:24,575 --> 01:34:25,785
[protester 2] All right!

1450
01:34:25,868 --> 01:34:28,537
[Heumann] We, as disabled persons,
are here today

1451
01:34:28,621 --> 01:34:32,375
to ensure
for the class of disabled Americans,

1452
01:34:32,458 --> 01:34:34,001
the ordinary daily life

1453
01:34:34,085 --> 01:34:37,880
that non-disabled Americans
too often take for granted:

1454
01:34:37,963 --> 01:34:40,341
the right to ride a bus or a train,

1455
01:34:40,424 --> 01:34:43,386
the right to any job
for which we are qualified,

1456
01:34:43,469 --> 01:34:47,598
the right to enter any theater,
restaurant, or public accommodation.

1457
01:34:47,681 --> 01:34:51,852
The passage of this monumental legislation
will make it clear

1458
01:34:51,936 --> 01:34:54,271
that our government will no longer allow

1459
01:34:54,355 --> 01:34:57,024
the largest minority group
in the United States

1460
01:34:57,108 --> 01:34:59,276
to be denied equal opportunity.

1461
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:01,862
To do any less is immoral.

1462
01:35:01,946 --> 01:35:03,030
Mr. President.

1463
01:35:03,114 --> 01:35:06,242
[reporter] This morning,
Senator Tom Harkin, whose brother is deaf,

1464
01:35:06,325 --> 01:35:09,829
delivered a speech in sign language,
urging passage of this bill.

1465
01:35:10,704 --> 01:35:13,791
But in the end, it was the disabled
themselves who made it happen.

1466
01:35:14,291 --> 01:35:17,086
[crowd cheering and encouraging]

1467
01:35:18,546 --> 01:35:24,385
Let the shameful wall of exclusion
finally come tumbling down.

1468
01:35:24,468 --> 01:35:25,970
God bless you all.

1469
01:35:42,153 --> 01:35:45,531
[Denise speaking]

1470
01:35:50,578 --> 01:35:52,371
-[Neil] Hey, Angel.
-[Angel] Hey, Neil.

1471
01:35:52,455 --> 01:35:53,330
[Neil] How are you?

1472
01:35:53,414 --> 01:35:56,208
Can we have three mochas?

1473
01:35:56,292 --> 01:35:57,501
A mocha?

1474
01:35:57,585 --> 01:35:58,461
[Neil] Three.

1475
