BIPOC Disability Awareness in Education: Resilience, Resistance, & Resources by Ms. Fyten https://padlet.com/fytenn/nj5c95z4iqbphg6w This resource is intended for education and beyond as a learning platform for anyone with the desire to learn about, teach, and/or distribute resources surrounding Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) disability in education. Included are multimodal resources categorized by preferred mode, to create connections, share histories, and promote accessibility. For the purposes of this project, we define history broadly, recognizing that the Disability Justice movement is ongoing. As a result, we incorporate relevant recent and present sources alongside those from further in the past. We think it is important to draw attention to the lack of resources in the past as this is likely due to erasure of disabled histories. We had many sources to choose from, and narrowing it down was difficult. However, we narrowed down the sources we thought would be best for educators and the sources that prioritize and highlight minoritized voices. en-us 2022-04-26 00:50:02 UTC 2025-06-05 10:10:36 UTC hello@padlet.com Disabled and Here https://padlet.com/fytenn/nj5c95z4iqbphg6w/wish/2167675908 This resource is a free-and-inclusive stock library with photos and illustrations celebrating disabled Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC).
