Spanning roughly a mile long, the Disability Justice Through the Ages Jane’s Walk takes New Yorkers on a journey through pivotal places in the disability rights movement. The walk features two historic locations (The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary & Gallaudet House for Aged and Infirm Deaf Mutes) and two modern locations (Union Street Greenmarket & 14th Street Transportation Complex Upgrades), allowing participants to see the evolution of fighting for disability rights to working towards mobility justice in the city. This walk will not only showcase important New York City historical sites crucial to the beginnings of the disability rights movement, but also highlight modern improvements to increasing accessibility for New Yorkers with diverse abilities.
