By Kendall Richards<\/p>\n

The Boston University Diversity & Inclusion Learn More Series focused this year on raising awareness about disabilities and the impact of ableism through panels, discussions and exhibitions. As part of the series, a year-long exhibit that began on Sept. 7 in the School of Theology focused on Boston University\u2019s own history with disability support and representation<\/span><\/p>\n

For D&I\u2019s Learn More series, the STH is holding an exhibit named \u201cAlong the Road to Accessibility: BU Disability History Exhibition,\u201d which displays cultural artifacts of BU\u2019s historic contribution to creating a more inclusive community.<\/p>\n

The exhibit, which can be viewed in the STH Library or virtually online, also includes a\u00a0<\/span>self-guided walking tour\u00a0<\/span>to visit historic and symbolic buildings on campus and around Boston. Students, faculty and staff visiting the exhibit can view placards and relics that depict how resources for communities with disabilities have changed since the 19th century.<\/p>\n
