Announcing the Oral History Project: Pioneers of Disability Rights
NCIL’s Oral History Project is a video series preserving the stories, lessons learned, and institutional memory of the National Council on Independent Living and its central, catalyzing role in the Independent Living movement. Each episode captures firsthand accounts from leaders and advocates so future generations can learn what worked, what changed, and what still needs defending.
The series is made up of stories about how the Independent Living movement built power through grassroots organizing, coalition work, and persistent policy advocacy. The first three guests in the series are founding members Colleen Starkloff and Charlie Carr, and former NCIL Executive Director Kelly Buckland.
