Democratic candidate for Senate in Pennsylvania John Fetterman continues to recover from a stroke, but some have questioned his capacity to serve as a potential Senator.
But disability rights advocates have come to his defense. This hour on Where We Live, we talk about ableism in life and politics.
Dr. Janet Williams, CEO and president of Minds Matter, LLC., and Lydia X. Z. Brown, join us. We also hear from Dr. Kevin Sheth, director of the Yale Center for Brain and Mind Health.
If you are part of the disabled community, we want to hear from you. Drop us a comment on Facebook or Twitter.
