Anyone know a disability and Black panther historian who can speak on the importance of the Black Panthers to disability justice historically and the intersection of disability and race? I want to do an event for the disability caucus

Just driving into research about the Black Panthers or even the disability rights movement is a lot harder than you might suspect. It's good to have a guide who can provide context. Research in isolation is never as helpful as collaboration.
Exactly, not to mention I'm specifically looking for speakers for an event, not doing a research project. I also already have a lot of existing knowledge myself, but I am in no way even close to an expert, and it's such an important topic to bring up, especially right now
I think most people are asking questions of their followers. SM is the way we present a query to our personal extended community this day and age. I'm from the Midwest, so if the question wasn't directly for me, I was taught to be helpful or quiet. Lol
No books to recommend, but I adored learning about Black Panther and Lesbian bar owners helping out during the disability sit-ins when watching the Crip Camp documentary. It was awesome seeing the communities come together
