Sun-Beams is a collection of links to stories, articles, photos, or videos I have come across that I believe will inspire, inform, or encourage you, as well as my favorite photo posted on my other blog, Violet Film, from the past week.
Couple Sues After Photo of Their Son With Down Syndrome Is Altered – The fear of every special mom who puts her heart – and photos of her child – out there for the world to see.
Girl with cerebral palsy motivates track teammates – It’s refreshing that she’s described as someone who “motivates” rather than someone who “inspires.”
Judge: Texas firm must pay disabled workers $1.4M – This story has been billed in some places as being about ADA violations, but the truth is they were slaves.
“Didn’t you get tested?” – A fabulous piece that shines a light on how the pressure of others’ perceptions is worse than our reality.
And because you know I can’t let a week go by without a reference to the Gosnell case, here’s a powerful editorial cartoon by Michael Ramirez.
