Happy Martin Luther King's Day! We all have dreams!
Why Martin Luther King is also for other minorities like the deaf and hard of hearing; an appropriate quote for the occasion:
"As King learned from Gandhi’s effort to free India, those in the disability rights movement learned from King how to go about righting wrongs and addressing social injustice. His words, actions and tactics serve as a role model for the broader civil rights movement which includes, but certainly is not limited to, disability rights.
We are all familiar with the most famous quotes from his “I Have A Dream” speech on the Washington Mall. But those words represent only a fraction of that which inspires civil rights activists around the world. His wisdom as expressed in his many speeches and writings gave proof to the interconnectivity of all segments of the civil rights movement.
“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

"Since captioning is universal access for many audience members, I suggest event organizers to provide live captioning at public events as a default access for the general audience and to mention this in announcements in addition to noting that other communication access services can be arranged upon request. Live captioning can be provided on site or remotely (there are pros and cons for both options)."
