Humor as Coping and Political Tool

Pioneering disability justice activist Alice Wong died in San Francisco on  Friday at the age of 51.  We listen back to our January interview with Alice, as  part of our series profiling legends of the Bay Area. We talked with Alice about her joyous approach to life and listened to some favorite interviews recorded with StoryCorps for the  Disability Visibility Project, which she founded. We also gathered fellow disability rights activists who reflected on Alice’s impact on them, and on the evolution of the disability justice movement.
