US SOCIAL JUSTICE
MOVEMENTS
1925 - PRESENT
In order to build the world we want for ourselves and our communities we must understand our history. We offer this timeline of US Social Justice Movements as a way for us to better understand where we have come from so that we can better plan where we want to go. We also seek to demonstrate that no movement for justice in our country happens in isolation. We believe that no one is free while others are oppressed. Our various struggles for justice are intimately connected. To get better lives for folks with developmental disabilities we must understand how this struggle is connected to all of the other struggles happening. When we find that common ground there is space to create true and lasting change for us all.
