What happens to a story when history stops telling it?

In this SubSpace conversation, part of the Museum's Being Human spotlight, author Joseph Lee reflects on how elementary school history stops at the pilgrims surviving their first winter with the Three Sisters, and never returns to the Wampanoag people again. His book, "Nothing More of This Land," weaves his own family's story as Aquinnah Wampanoag into a wider look at Indigenous identity, from Martha's Vineyard to communities around the world. It stands as a testament to that wrongness, a reminder that Wampanoag people are still here and have evolved in the centuries since.

Are medical professionals overlooking their disabled patients' reproductive health?

Disability Justice Advocate and Founder of the Women's March Disability Caucus Mia Ives-Rublee says people with disabilities are routinely passed over for standard screenings during appointments, from menstrual cycle history to breast exams. Because of those missed screenings, reproductive cancers go undetected until they reach final stages. That means people with disabilities are significantly more likely to die of reproductive cancers than the general population.

Knowledge is power, and without access to it, powerlessness follows. That's why accessible formats like braille, audio, large print, and digital electronic access are not just services; they are essential tools for equity.
