  • Disability History: an Introduction
    Disability History: An introduction Take a journey through the rich history and culture of the disability community with Lawrence Carter-Long (LCL) as your guide. LCL, the communications director at the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREFD), a national civil rights law and policy center at the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley, California, is a lifelong activist. Transcript begins. [rhythmic violin and percussion music] [A lean, middle-aged white man with bleached-blonde hair swaggers with cerebral palsy into a building through an automatic sliding door. He stops at the base of a red, spiral ramp—the centerpiece of the lobby at the Ed Roberts Campus—and speaks to the camera.] LAWRENCE CARTER-LONG: In 2011, the Ed Roberts Campus opened in Berkeley, California, named after one of the founders of the independent living movement—a now worldwide movement of disabled people working for equal opportunity, self- determination, and respect. [A montage of photos and footage shows disability rights protests from around the world.] LCL: Here at the Ed Roberts Campus, accessibility is not an afterthought. It’s built in— everything from the architecture to the tenants here in the building, advocacy groups, nonprofits, the supports and services. [on-screen text: Lawrence Carter-Long, Communications Director, Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund] [LCL turns and walks up the spiraling ramp. A person in a wheelchair speeds down the ramp, past a photo mural of the 5O4 sit-in. LCL proceeds to narrate the history of the disability rights movement in the US from various locations in the building.] LCL: Disability rights are a part of civil rights history, but in order for that to be understood by the masses, we’ve got to get behind it in the ways that people have fought to include other things.

  • Clinical Research – a Journey Toward Diversity
    September Accelerated Cure Project for MS 2017 Accelerating research towards a cure for multiple sclerosis Clinical Research – A Journey Toward Diversity Clinical trials are an essential part of the drug development process. Regulatory agencies such the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) use information gathered from clinical trials to decide if medicines are safe and effective. It is important to have ethnic diversity in clinical trials to better understand diseases, and the full impact of certain drugs. Different ethnicities can have unique responses to the same disease. Studies have shown that MS can be especially active in African Americans. The effectiveness of many drugs can also vary depending on the patient’s ethnicity, lifestyle, culture and genetic makeup. For example, about 50 percent of Asian patients and 75 percent of Pacific Islanders lack the enzymes required to activate Plavix (a blood thinner). Certain classes of hypertension drugs have recently been found to be less effective in African American patients. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), minorities account for fewer than 10 percent of patients enrolled in clinical trials. African American men are twice as likely as Caucasian men to die from prostate cancer, yet they represent just 4 percent of prostate cancer clinical trial participants. Suicide is one of the top three causes of death among Asian American women under 45 years of age, yet they represent just 1 percent of major depressive disorder clinical trial participants. And while the prevalence of diabetes among Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans is more than double that of Caucasians, those groups combined represent just 4 percent of diabetes trial participants.
