For a great, inspiring documentary, watch Crip Camp, a movie about a summer camp for children with disabilities that includes original footage taken at the camp decades ago. Judy Heumann, who attended Camp Jened from the time she was 8 and was a counselor at the time of the original film footage, quickly emerged as the documentary's star. Ms. Heumann has died unexpectedly at the age of 75.
Ms. Heumann contracted polio as a child. From not being able to find a job as a teacher because her "wheel chair was a fire hazard" to becoming an assistant secretary of education under Bill Clinton, she was a pillar for breaking down the hierarchy imposed on people with disabilities.
