It's our story. Harriet McBride Johnson presented by the 88 Legacy Project. Becoming a writer of books are 25 of 29. I started writing in around 1994 kind of for my own amusement. What it was was a story set in a cross-visibility summer camp. Very much like the one I used to go to. And I just started doing it because I had always wanted to do something with that material. And I had tried a college sociology paper and visited that and the other thing. And I really couldn't get hold of doing what I wanted to do with the material. And so one rainy Sunday I just came up with the idea to tell a story from a different point of view about an imaginary person in that place. And I tinkered with it for about 10 years. At about year nine somebody gave me a book on how to write a novel. And I was like, oh, I did that in your summer and I did that in your five. So it was a fun process but very protracted because I really didn't know what I was doing. But anyway, it was really from my own amusement. I did have a sense the non-disabled people who are my best friends now had no clue about the world I came from. And I just kind of been in my frustration about that. I wanted to spend a little time on that, and it's going to go in that world. Be inspired, be informed, be involved. We plus you equals power, passion, pride.
