Scott Cooper

Joyce welcomes Scott Cooper, Founder of the It’s Our Story project at, http://dmi-us.blogspot.com. Scott will discuss the creation of this blog and project. Scott is on a one year journey of America adding new voices and images to the DMI archives that currently house over 785 video portraits and 4,000 images. After 18 months of interviews and another 18 months of organizing, 548 voices are ready to be transcribed, encoded, and engineered into an accessible website that truly will free the voices of Americans with disabilities telling their story of living with a disability in time for the 2010 Anniversary of the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
