Today was the first airing of The Lone Ranger. Although quite popular, the discriminatory undertones left it unsavory. Sherman Alexie's The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven proves that the exploration of prejudices and presenting the truth is the way we overcome hate!
Intriguing read for today, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks. The more you learn about others, the easier it is to empathize. #MondayMotivaton

Love to see a disability-centric book display right in the middle of @DrakeUniversity’s library!
ALT Photo of a bookcase with many books by and about disability displayed with their front covers facing forward. Sign on top of the bookcase says “ADA 32 1990-2022: celebrate, learn, share”. Book titles include “rolling warrior”, “demystifying disability”, “The Pretty One”, “Deaf Utopia”, “Being Heumann”, “Haben”, “Say Hello”, “Disability Visibility”, “About Us”, Life of the Mind Interrupted”, “the sign for home”, “true Biz”, “Care Work” and others that are a bit difficult to make out in the photo.
We love to see these types of improvements being made in the industry! #blindawareness

Robert Thoreau's Walden was published on this day. "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer." While unity is very important, it doesn't mean we have to be the same person. Be proud to be you! #tuesdayvibe

#LouisArmstrong's birthday! The fantastic musician whose unique style changed the more formal style of his contemporaries had a flop with "What a Wonderful World" until it was put into the movie “Good Morning, Vietnam". Success takes time, hard work, and love! #thursdayvibes
