Alice Wong's Legacy: Disability Rights Activist's Impact

Alice Wong, a renowned writer and disability rights activist, passed away at 51 due to an infection. Born with muscular dystrophy, Alice became a powerful voice for people with disabilities, advocating for their autonomy and independence. Her memoir, Year of the Tiger, detailed her experiences with discrimination and bullying, which fueled her commitment to dismantling systemic ableism. She founded the Disability Visibility Project, an oral history initiative to collect and share disabled peoples stories. Alices legacy ensures that people with disabilities speak for themselves, and she was posthumously awarded the MacArthur genius grant.
