[ID: An old image of Brad Lomax, an African American in a wheelchair, who is at a rally in 1977. Text says: "Honoring Black History Month Black History Month offers an opportunity to celebrate and reflect upon the rich tapestry of Black leadership, movements, and culture. However, it's crucial to recognize that the contributions of Black disabled activists—who have tirelessly advocated for both racial and disability justice— are often overlooked. By acknowledging their pivotal roles, we gain a more comprehensive understanding of our shared history and the interconnected struggles for equality. Brad Lomax (1950–1984): Remembering Brad Lomax, a Black Panther and disability rights activist with multiple sclerosis. His efforts were pivotal in the San Francisco 504 Sit-in as he coordinated bringing in food, blankets and other supplies that disabled protesters needed." Followed by the Rolling Start Inc logo]
