The passing of a legend: a tribute to Vic Finkelstein
From Crippen’s Blog on Disability Arts Online
His political activism turned from apartheid to disability rights
“The political activist and campaigner Vic Finkelstein, who has died aged 73, was deported from South Africa for his support of the anti-apartheid movement. He was the main architect of the Fundamental Principles of Disability, published in 1975, which argued that the problems faced by disabled people were caused by society’s failure to take account of their needs, not by their impairments.”
