Physical disability is a
fact of life for millions, yet it makes many able-bodied people feel
uncomfortable. Protest movements could learn a great deal from people with
disabilities. From the moment that “sticker” is attached to their life, the
disabled must struggle against a lack of freedom, the curtailment of
privacy, and denial of their rights. Their experience – being ignored,
disliked, feared, misunderstood – should strike a chord with everyone in every
protest movement.
Do you contemplate joining a protest but feel shy, apprehensive,
afraid? Perhaps you think you are not “that type” of person, the youthful
romantic hero climbing a lamp post, flag fluttering between his perfect teeth.
Here are two very active and able members of the February 25
Movement in Mauritania, Ahmed and Rafiq. When I have doubts about my abilities,
I think of these guys, and many others like them. They inspire me, I hope they
might do the same for you.
