Roadtrip Nation: Being You

Friday, September 29, 2017 | 12:00–1:30 pm

From big name CEOs to the accomplished people you interact with on a daily basis, many individuals live with learning disabilities and ADHD—and they’re harnessing their differences for success.

Roadtrip Nation sent three young people out on a journey to hear their struggles, ask their advice, and discover how they turned a so-called limitation into an asset. Follow three young people with learning disabilities and ADHD as they travel the country to seek advice from TV host Howie Mandel, ice sculptor John Rodrigues, and many more who have transformed their learning disabilities and ADHD from a struggle into an asset.

Including Samuel

Friday, November 17, 2017 | 12:00–2:30 pm
Please Note: the Kalamazoo event of “Including Samuel” has been canceled due to flood damage in our Community Building.

Before his son Samuel was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, photojournalist Dan Habib rarely thought about the inclusion of people with disabilities. Now he thinks about inclusion every day. Including Samuel is a highly personal, passionately photographed film that captures the cultural and systemic barriers to inclusion.  What role can you play in including people in the community?
