"Deaf President Now!"Apple TV+ Documentary Spotlights Pivotal Disability Protest
A new Apple TV+ documentary, "Deaf President Now!", tells the powerful story of the 1988 protest at Gallaudet University. Students rallied, boycotted, and protested for eight days after the university's board chose a hearing president over two qualified deaf candidates. The film highlights how this pivotal moment led to the resignation of the hearing president and the historic appointment of Dr. I. King Jordan, Gallaudet's first deaf president. The documentary features interviews with student leaders and Dr. Jordan, offering a compelling look at this landmark event in disability rights history.
What lessons from the "Deaf President Now!" protest are still relevant to disability advocacy today?
