“The motto of the Disability Visibility Project is really simple,” says founder and Project Coordinator Alice Wong. “‘Recording disability history, one story at a time'”

In celebration of next year’s 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Wong created the Disability Visibility Project, a year-long community partnership with StoryCorps that encourages people with disabilities to contribute their stories to StoryCorps’ growing collection of American oral histories at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
