Beth Haller of Media dis&dat has shared her thoughts on the sad news that Harriet McBryde Johnson has passed away: (follow the link above and you will also find numerous links to Harriet's writings and interviews)
I knew Harriet through her writings and the occasional emails we would exchange about media and disability topics. She always supported my work and was a disability activist who truly knew the significance of media images of disability and their impact in the lives of people with disabilities....
She was a spirited and tireless crusader for disability rights, and she will be sorely missed.
Writer and disability rights advocate Laura Hershey of Crip Commentary has created a tribute Web site about disability rights activist, author and attorney Harriet McBryde Johnson, who unexpectedly died June 3.
We (the [with]tv "team") did not know her personally but we benefited from her existence, energy, intellect and her ability. We would like to honor her and thank her in passing, too little and too late. -- Howard Renensland, CEO & Founder, [with]tv
