I still have a set of the posters with the theme LIBERTY, EQUALITY,
DISABILITY published by Manchester coalition I think?
One has Lorraine Gradwell and others chained to a bus. Another Micheline
Mason and her daughter.

Subject: Re: Positive disability images?
Hello Bob,
Thank you for your reply. I share your dilemma over the use of the term
'positive disability' but still use it because I don't have a better term in
mind to describe what kind of images I want. When I say positive images of
disability, my greatest concern is, as I explained in my original post, that
most images of disability tend to be images of people in wheelchair or
children with Down's syndrome. I don't see anything 'wrong' with these
images of visible disabilities except that they are restrictive and hence,
stereotypical. I feel we need to move beyond them, maybe not by eliminating
them but by supplementing them with multiple and more diverse images of
disability.
Regards,
Asiya
