Activist Judy Heumann led a reimagining of what it means to be disabled

Judy Heumann was a major American civil rights activist who remained little-known until a flurry of attention in the last three years of her life.

Heumann was instrumental in pushing to expand the civil rights of Americans with disabilities and continued to advocate for disability rights around the globe. She died on Saturday at age 75.
