Judith Heumann’s Business Card
United States c. 2010
Judith Heumann was an internationally recognized leader in the disability community and a lifelong civil rights advocate for disadvantaged people. She was known to many as the “Mother of the Disability Rights Movement.”
Heumann contracted polio as a child and used a wheelchair most of her life. Her experiences led her to become a lifelong advocate for those with disabilities.
From 2010 to 2017, she served in a diplomatic role as Special Advisor for International Disability Rights in the U.S. Department of State. This business card featuring Braille is from her time working at the State Department.
