A coalition of Muskegon Disability Rights and Service Organizations present: A public screening of Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution at the Frauenthal Center in Downtown Muskegon.
A reception begins at 5:30pm, with nonprofit exhibitors, hors d’oeuvres, and a cash bar. We will start the movie at 6:30pm and the film will be followed by a panel discussion with members of the Muskegon Disability Community.
Learn how disability inclusion can help foster innovation, enhance your reputation, and create real, positive impacts in your community.
Directors Note:
“In the early 1970s, teenagers with disabilities faced a future shaped by isolation, discrimination and institutionalization. Camp Jened, a ramshackle camp “for the handicapped” (a term no longer used) in the Catskills, exploded those confines. Jened was their freewheeling Utopia, a place with summertime sports, smoking and make-out sessions awaiting everyone, and campers experienced liberation and full inclusion as human beings. Their bonds endured as many migrated West to Berkeley, California — a hotbed of activism where friends from Camp Jened realized that disruption, civil disobedience, and political participation could change the future for millions.
