Air Date 12/8/2021 Today we take a look at the state of disability rights and reexamine what we thought we knew about what it means to be disabled in a society that is not built to accommodate various physical and mental disabilities. Is one inherently disabled by their condition or do they become disabled when they bump up against unnecessary barriers in society? Be part of the show!

Everyone that works with anybody with any form of disability should watch this film. PERIOD.  Peabody Award-winning, Emmy-nominated film on autism, adoption and inclusion TWO WAYS TO EXPERIENCE DEEJ IN JULY TONIGHT, July 14th @ 8/7c DEEJ will have an encore broadcast on America Reframed on the WORLD Channel. More detailshere.  Also, Thursday, July 23rd at 5pm PT / 8pm ET, join us for the second in the #NoBodyIsDisposable 3-part summer film series, highlighting the politics of disposability -- how certain groups of people are deemed expendable or inferior -- and creative forms of resistance. Following the film, panelists will discuss the power of poetry and art, and the potential for that power to create lasting liberatory change—both cultural and political. Panelists include artful activist, author, and presenter, as well as DEEJ's star and co-producer David James Savarese; African American poet, scholar, and activist Lateef McLeod; and autistic Mestiza educator and disability justice activist and scholar Sara M. Acevedo (moderator).    Register for this free event at https://tinyurl.com/DeejNoBodyIsDisposable About DEEJ: A non-speaking young man dreams of autistic civil rights. After spending his early years in foster care, without access to language, DJ "Deej" Savarese found not only a loving family but also a life in words, which he types on a text-to-voice synthesizer. In this first-of-its-kind collaboration between a veteran filmmaker and a non-speaking autistic, Deej challenges misconceptions of what an alternatively communicating autistic can do. As one of only two non-speaking autistics included in regular education from kindergarten through college graduation, DJ expands our understanding of what full inclusion entails and the possibilities it offers to everyone. ASL/Live Captioning provided. The film will play with captioning and open audio description by default, as well as closed audio description by request.  Please email beitiks@sfsu.edu to request closed audio description or with any other access needs.

Transcript: Black Disabled Men Talk: Relationships With: Leroy Moore (LM); Keith Jones (KJ); Lateef McLeod (LMC); LM: Okay! This is Leroy Moore on Black Disabled Men Talk. We’re back again, and this time we’re talking about relationships and being a black disabled man. We’re going to go round like we always do, introduce ourselves, then we can jump into the topic. We have like 20 minutes to do this, so let’s do it! So introductions, please, myself and my team. KJ: Hey what’s up my name is Keith Jones. I am the president and CEO of Soul Touching Experiences, an organization built on building inclusive and effective policy.  Also the co-founder of Krip-Hop nation with my twin from another mother, Leroy Moore. LM: Hey! Alright this is Leroy Moore from Krip-Hop Nation, Poor Magazine, also an author, writer, activist in the Bay Area. Yeah, that’s me, I’m glad to be here. Lateef, take it away! LMC: Hello, I am Lateef McLeod and I am poet, writer and scholar. I am a PhD student in the Anthropology and Social Change department at California Institute of Integrative Studies, also the lead committee chair of the International Society of Augmented and Alternative Communication. I’m also working on a poetry book that will come out next year. Also. LM: Alright are you done Lateef? LMC: Also people should donate to our Patreon [repeats] [child in background chattering] KJ: Our Patreon page, yes! I can never say it right. It’ll be, we’ll put the link up with the link. LMC: Okay. LM: So we have the Patreon page, Black Disabled Men Talk, and we’re on acmes so thanks. So let’s get into the topic, the topic is relationships and black disabled men. It could be friends, it could be romantic relationships, but yeah we’re going to talk about that topic. So. Who wants to jump in first with that? KJ: Latif why don’t you go first man? [child chattering, noise] LMC: Well for my position I think romantic relationships for people with disabilities [chime], especially black people with disabilities, in this society is full of challenges, [loud hum in background], heartache, and disappointment. The reason I say that is because I don’t think our communities get our sexuality or our romantic wishes, and think that part of ourselves is trivial to our wellbeing. LM: Yeah I do agree with you, Lateef. Keith ado you want to go? KJ: You can go LM: For me I totally agree. I really don’t think that society sees our sexuality as black disabled men. You know, although today we had a little bit better with our work with Sins Invalid you know, and disabled activists doing the work around it. But I really think that this… can be deeply in the courts. I think it’s going to be… [10.16, inaudible] change. Change in our community about how we think about disability, especially in the black community. The black community is so far behind, you know. We talk about social justice but they’re so far behind, sexuality it just erases it, it’s like going back to the dark ages almost. Recently - not even recently, I think a year and a half now - I’ve been really pumping to be a national black disabled campaign that’s fully funded and fully supported. So we can do that education! It’s not going to come from the courts, it’s not going to come from the disabled caucus, it’s only going to come from our communities. And you know to do that we need support doing, you know funding and other pieces to it. Of course what we’re doing now with our own work - Latif with you writing, Keith Jones with policy and running for president, and mine - we are doing it in our own silos. But you know, a national complete new way of thinking I think it needs to be.

In our last episode of the season, we take one one of the most requested futures: telepathy! What would it be like to be able to link minds, and communicate brain to brain? And how likely is it that we’ll ever get this kind of technology?     We start the episode by talking to Roger Luckhurst, a Professor in Modern and Contemporary Literature at Birkbeck, University of London, who explains where the word telepathy comes from, and how it totally obsessed men of science in the early 1800’s. Then, futurist and science fiction author Ramez Naam walks us through both the current state of science and the futuristic world of his science fiction series Nexus, that centers around a drug that gives people telepathic powers. After that, we consider what a future full of telepathic people might mean for etiquette with Robin Abrahams, the etiquette columnist for the Boston Globe. And then we talk privacy and digital security with Kit Walsh, a a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. And we finish out the episode by talking to Lateef McLeod, a poet, blogger, activist and doctoral student in the anthropology and social change program at California Institute for Integral Studies, about how those with complex communication needs might appreciate a new form of communication.    Further reading: Science & history    The Neurologist Who Hacked His Brain -- And Almost Lost His Mind  When “I” becomes “We”: ethical implications of emerging brain-to-brain interfacing technologies  Conscious Brain-to-Brain Communication in Humans Using Non-Invasive Technologies  Brain-to-Brain Interfaces: When Reality Meets Science Fiction  The invention of telepathy, 1870-1901 by Roger Luckhurst  Telepathy and literature: essays on the reading mind by Nicholas Royle  “First Report of the Literary Committee by W.F.

Black and brown people have always been present in the disability movement and some have played pivotal roles. Yet our conversation about race is often pretty unsophisticated. We're a long way from truly supporting all our community members and, like in the rest of the U.S., people of color with disabilities are frequently the last to be included. At the same time, movements for racial equality and disability rights overlap and inform each other. Disability Justice activists Patty Berne and Lateef Mcleod join white woman Adrienne Lauby for a conversation about where we are and where we could be in the partnership of race and disability.
