"Beyond Affliction: The Disability History Project." (1998, May). In 1998 the history of disability achieved more widespread recognition due to producer Laurie Block’s National Public Radio series called "Beyond Affliction: The Disability History Project." Her four- part radio series looked at the development of the "poster child" in American culture, employment issues and government policy on disability historically, the development of the disability rights movement, and an historical understanding of conception and childbirth as it relates to newborns with disabilities. The series ran in May1998, and she created an in-depth web site linked to the NPR site, which functions as an on-line museum archive. Your computer may not be able to host the radio program, but the website includes information, images, and transcripts from the show. www.npr.org/programs/disability
