About the Southeastern Disability Archive

"A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots" - Marcus Garvey 

The Southeastern Disability Archive is an online museum run by people with disabilities. We collect interviews, photos, and other materials related to disability from people and organizations in the south. Our goal is to uplift the voices of disabled southerners, preserve our stories and accomplishments for future generations, and to educate our communities about the rich history and culture of disability in the south.

 

We acknowledge that the disabled experience is inherently intersectional and strive to highlight the experiences Black, Brown, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and other multi-marginalized southerners with disabilities.
