. "It's Our Story" is an inside view of the reality of life with a
disability. An oral history project that speaks directly from the voices
of those who know what it's like, directly to those who want to know how
it is. The over 500 narratives contained within the digital archive has
the power to change the way the world sees disability, and the way the
disability community sees itself. The Story Flag will be on public
display in the Blackwell Hotel Ballroom Lobby on April 28th and 29, 2009
during the Multiple Perspectives Conference. This Exhibit is free and
open to the public. For more information on the Story Flag, please visit
