#disabilityhistorymonth — Public Fediverse posts

It’s Disability History Month, a time to raise awareness and celebrate the history and achievements of disabled people and communities. It’s also a time to highlight the ongoing struggles for equality disabled people face.

We stand in solidarity with disabled people and communities and celebrate our disabled team members, supporters and siblings!

‘How is it possible for a blind man to be a Member of Parliament?’, demanded the Evening Mail in 1860. He relied on family, friends & hired secretaries to assist him, before marrying Millicent.

Fawcett served as MP for Brighton, 1865-74, and for Hackney from 1874 until his death in 1884.
