@Sir Festus "people think everything is fine now and all the fights have been won" No one said that or says that. No one here is even close to implying that just because theyre enjoying wins where they get them, as small as they may seem to be. All doom, and no celebration makes for a dead morale.
As a disabled citizen I'm so grateful for the fact that they not only dedicated a sketch to us, but brought in a full team of actual disabled actors/actresses.This channel really gives me hope for humanity.
Ruth Nield exactly. It’s frustrating when people say this bc it shows they haven’t done their research and are dismissing the works that’s already being done. Just without any mainstream attention
Maybe it's the quarantine talking but as a person with disabilities the moment when the camera panned up at 3:16 to show a whole bunch of dope ass disabled folks? That made me, yeah, bawl

@@joshuathompson5082 I was gutted when they announced S02 of "The Society" was being cancelled. I *really* need the resolution of his storyline!!!!!!!!!
@@cuchelo1 I’m in a Twitter group chat which organised a rewatch 15 hours ago. We got some of the cast to join in and got #savethesociety and #thesocietyrewatch trending in lots of countries on twitter and we also got it onto Netflix trending in a lot of countries! There is hope!!
Saving this video for the next time a movie casts an able bodied person in a disabled role and the director says "Well, we just couldn't find anybody!" Sir, did you look?
I found out the only reason most of them don't cast people with disabilities is because of the hours/time they can work. They're compared to working with children
Phelan Christopher That’s nonsense. I’m disabled and what I can or can’t work varies, like every other human being. Disabled adults are not children and should not be compared to children.
@@Ph8lan that's absolutely not true. You are making a massive generalisation here and I suspect that this only applies to adults with certain specific cognitive impairments. It certainly doesn't apply to adults with physical disabilities who have full mental capacity.
I know! Sean Berdy! I did a double take when I saw him signing and realized it was him, that’s what made me realize the cast was actually people w disabilities and I got so excited
Producers of Drunk History, please do more videos on disability history. It is the less taught but also the most uplifting types of history I ever learned. Love, A person with autism
I’m not sure if it’s as evident if you don’t know ASL, but Sean Berdy’s delivery on the “I feel way drunker than I should be” line was so spot on and I laughed so hard 🤣
I love when they break character to lip-sync (and, in this case, sign) what the narrator says. Ditto for the Act that Nixon signs having all the "uhs" in it. Cracks me up. PS: thanks for identifying the actor who played Frank Bow. I wondered.
Yeah well as someone in a wheelchair, we have a long way to go. I constantly have problems being able to use bathrooms in public places, I see businesses and even medical facilities that aren’t really handicap accessible. If I can’t actually get my chair into your ‘accessible’ stall then it isn’t. That happens to me all the time. In this day and age why aren’t there more automatic doors??? Why??? Why do bathroom doors weigh so damn much??? Most of the time my husband has to hold open doors for me or random strangers. There are many stores and restaurants in my town that I can’t access. The handicapped parking is not enough is I can’t enter the building what good does parking do??? I think all architects should be required to spend a week trying to use a wheelchair in public buildings before they can graduate. You have no idea.
Yes. I was thinking the same thing. That this is great, but what's happened since? There are so many problems still even when it comes to having basic needs met. My fiance has CP and her number one complaint about going to the doctor or the dentist is that she is unable to get onto exam tables. How is she supposed to take optimal care of her health if the facilities available to her are not equipped to serve her? The last time she went she felt so dehumanized by the experience and now faces panic attacks at the thought of it happening again.
Yes yes yes! My son plays sled hockey and even though he isn’t in a wheel chair a lot of his team mates are and we see these issues a lot while traveling!
I have only the smallest idea of what you have to deal with, which is crap you should not have to deal with. If we can't make architects and city planners try to get around in a wheelchair for a week, next step is a stroller laden with 100 lbs worth of stuff so they can't lift it out of any sticky situations. I am so freaking sick of seeing things I can't get my stroller around easily because I know that if it's hard for me to manage it's near impossible for a wheelchair to manage.
YASSSS!!!! I'm non-disabled, but I work with people that sometimes need a wheelchair or other devices and It's CRAZY how unaccessible this country still is. Zach Anner who is an actor in this piece has his own channel and is a comedian. One of his videos shows just how unaccessible New York City is.
@@slowbeatseething I work in a dental office and so many people stop the "is my office accessible" talk with "can you get a wheelchair into the office." That's not good enough! It's useless if people can't actually get into the chair. We can't say we're accessible if that's not the case.
I took care of two relatives that had to use wheelchairs, and it definitely wasn't easy to transport them around in the first place, but I can't imagine doing it all without things like ramps to go in and out of buildings, extra large bathroom stalls with rails on the walls, the specialized elevators, etc .
Did you go to public school? Me too. I had several teachers tell me they are paid to fake education. They want to keep us stupid because if we can think critically we do shit like the people in this video. Politicians want stupid constituents and they are the ones in charge of education
As someone with a disability (visual impairment), I feel bad for only having just learned about the 504 Protests a few months ago. It wasn't taught at all in school; if anything, the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act got only a passing mention in my AP U.S. history book. Kids need to learn about this the same way they learn about the more well-known civil rights movements. Thank you, "Drunk History", for featuring this on your show, and for casting actors with disabilities.
The one thing I'm disappointed in is that he doesn't have his name in the title. Zach Anner is a big deal, the dude is awesome! But nope, just feat Ali Stroker.... 😑
I have lived in San Francisco my whole life (34 years), and it is stories like this that give me hope that we can still come together. We were a model city for protecting all civil rights for YEARS-- UC Berkeley grad., class of 08', here, and Berkeley, CA is the most ADA accessible city IN THE COUNTRY! Hell to the yes. In fact, I lived above a fellow student who lived in an iron lung when I was in college. And it's no coincidence that her last name is "Heumann." Beautiful story in these times of darkness when we need to really consider those whose health is already compromised. Thank you!
I’d just like to clarify the situation with me getting an ABI, surgery was successful, and I’m forever grateful to my surgical team for the great treatment that I received. Because of their work, I’m able to still be around to post this.
@@Sleipnirseight You could do a lesson on how anatomical differences can lead to sight/hearing difficulties, disability as related to musculoskeletal differences, and use this video during that lesson.
DeathnoteBB Absolutely. I suffer from Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, and people are always all shocked when I have to use crutches to walk like “you were fine yesterday!!” Yeah, bruh. I was. YESTERDAY. Lol sorry for the mini rant.
Proud of y'all for actually casting disabled actors in all the parts with disabled characters. The irony of having so many disability-rights-activists depicted in media by nondisabled people is not lost on us and it's pretty disheartening.
Being a disbled person with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), I can definitely relate to this and it was really informative for those of us who never knew how disability rights got started. This was beautiful for anyone who has any form of disability whether it be physical or mental or both. May God bless us all!!!👍♿😊
I loved this! Ali Stroker, the first wheelchair user on Broadway who played Judith here, mentioned this video in her condolences for the incredible activist who has now sadly passed away. I hope we learn from her and the spirit of this protest and fight for what is right, intersectionally, now.
I know drunk history is supposed to be funny, but 4:05 actually made me so emotional that I cried. it's really heart warming to see people of other marginalized communities come together to support each other.
"And this set the process for Ramps, and Braille" Me a contractor: "and bars exactly in between 34"-36" no more than 2" in diameter, and a center line of a toilet to be exactly 17" of finish face of wall, and the highest accessible switch on a coffee pot in a "public area to be no more than 38" high and 20" from front of counter top with 24"w 19" knee clearance 7" toe clearance" 😂
As a person with disabilities, thank you thank you thank you for this! So important people outside the community learns more about our history. Great video!
Total respect for Judith Heumann and the people who fought alongside her and the people who have to fight still. There is no denying her place in history. Rest in Power Judith.
Seeing Sean Berdy and Zach Anner in this was so cool! My career is in special education (speech therapy) and I’ve followed both of them for a while now! Zach is HILARIOUS (find his comedy stuff) and Sean has been in shows like Switched At Birth (so many great actors who are deaf in that) and The Society (eerily similar to our current isolation...lol but also very good). Love me some great representation!
@@TryMyMartini I...didn't until I searched them up after this vid? Like I haven't studied modern American history in years so if I did learn about them I forgot them. Also not everyone watching this video have learned about them in class (I highly doubt that anyone not from the US would have typically learned about them in class and let's admit, the American education system kinda sucks so I have no doubts that some schools in America just never covered them) Anyway, that aside, let people enjoy things jeez
I never knew about this moment in history! I'm so glad that people stood up and fought for greater accessibility for all Americans! Glad that this issue was highlighted.
4:11. The guy in the wheelchair, I believe, is Sean Stephenson. He was a phenomenal public speaker and had one of the most beautiful outlooks on the power of positivity and mental empowerment. He passed in August 2019 for a concussion. If you read this, take the time to watch him speak.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Thank you. I was born with a very rare disability and without this my life would be so different. Although I will say there is still more that needs done.
As someone that's disabled, thank you Judith Heumann and all those that were involved with the movement, and even thanks to this video I learned about her..... now I wanna get drunk and tell this story to someone just to see if they get my inside joke....
I literally started tearing up on cue! I'm going to need all the feel-good stories I can get right now, as our POTUS creates as much destruction as humanly possible. :(
I was born bilateral clubfoot and had the archaic surgeries and doing good, like Judith I am pushing for empowerment especially though creating content on youtube and other outlets.
We need more laws and updates now for the rights for disabilities because some of us high-functioning jobs for many years and we're forced to live in a group home
I teared up. The storyteller did an awesome job and I could tell this is a story that she really enjoyed telling. I really enjoyed learning about this and I know a lot of people that will think this video is awesome and really special. Thank you so much!
This is amazing! I’m glad this got covered!❤️❤️❤️ I heard about how in SF one of the protestors had her boyfriend come over and had sex in the building. Get this...... what was crazy about it was that the protestor was a wheelchair user and her boyfriend was an able bodied person. It was incredible because it showed that it doesn’t matter if you’re able bodied or not. You’re a human being that deserves to do whatever the fvck you please 😌 (I heard from a college tour guide in Berkeley when I was in high school)
This show is amazing! Not only is it often hilarious, esp. w/ the lip-syncing, but it's actually educational, and inspiring, and often moves me to tears. I cried watching this one, the one about Edie Windsor & same-sex marriage, the one about Marjorie Stoneman Douglas protecting the Everglades, the one about Nellie Bly in the mental hospital, about Judge Julius Waties Waring & segregation, and about Harriet Tubman and Florence Nightingale.
Yes!!! Love seeing Zach Anner in a drunk history video :)) fucking rocks my world. Also when I was in grade school my 504 plan saved my ass. Got good grades and went to college. Didn’t know the history behind it and I am grateful for the activists who made it possible. Really brings to light the struggles that people went through.
Judy Heumann went on to become one of the biggest advocates for people with disabilities of our time! She's still alive, and just put out an autobiography. She also features in the documentary "Crip Camp" on Netflix which talks about this as well as many other aspects of the community at the time. Side note - I'm visually impaired. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)
I once had an employer tell me that if I wanted to make more money. I should get around without a cane. As a Vietnam Vet, My retort. “I would, If I could but I can’t so I wont” 🤟🏽😎🤚🏼
I was scared to watch this, cause I've loved the others, but it's hard to do this 1 justice. It was perfect! l'm super sensitive about this too, cause people were treated as less than animals, & not all have a voice that's understood. I did advocacy, helped w/self advocacy, & my job was taking care of, & helping people w/disabilities before having some of my own. Disability history is huge for so many, & now more will understand. I loved this!!!

As someone that's disabled, thank you Judith Heumann and all those that were involved with the movement, and even thanks to this video I learned about her..... now I wanna get drunk and tell this story to someone just to see if they get my inside joke....
This one gets
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I hardly ever bawl at Drunk History but this one was cathartic. Love how you included handicapable actors!
Thank you!!!
As a disabled person I beg you to just say "disabled" or "people with disabilities", as a lot of us find stuff like "handicapable" very offensive
seconded. "handicapable" is really offensive. we're disabled.
I laughed, I cried, I cheered. This one was really good!!
Me and my Disabled Comrades need to be obstructive again.
YEAH!! CAUSE SOME TROUBLE BABIE!!!
Now seriously this is the BEST way to learn History :)
4real!
I literally started tearing up on cue! I'm going to need all the feel-good stories I can get right now, as our POTUS creates as much destruction as humanly possible. :(
5:45 I need to see a disabled person revolution atleast once in my life.
Rest in Power Judith Heumann (1947 - 2023)
This is AMAZING on sooooo many levels! So much gratitude, love, respect and strength!!!!!! To all!!!!!! LOVE!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
I keep wondering how could they still remember the events vividly while they're drunk?
Me too. They must have to memorize weeks beforehand or something.
They pretend to be drunk. Acting drunk for a sober actor is a matter of skill. Cups are filled with water.
They give them notes with names and dates to study for a few weeks before taping
So cool to learn-as a disabled person, I am so grateful for this event in history!
My aunt who has cerebral palsy was a huge part of this movement and still works in Washington DC for the government and the ADA
This is the only drunk history episode to bring actual tears to my eyes. I’m so glad they did an episode on this!
I was born bilateral clubfoot and had the archaic surgeries and doing good, like Judith I am pushing for empowerment especially though creating content on youtube and other outlets.
Thanks for bring this and all the other stories to light. They make the world a better place.
Just for folks who are seeing this for the first time, this came out years ago and they are re-uploading. This has been done been dope.
We need more laws and updates now for the rights for disabilities because some of us high-functioning jobs for many years and we're forced to live in a group home
I teared up. The storyteller did an awesome job and I could tell this is a story that she really enjoyed telling. I really enjoyed learning about this and I know a lot of people that will think this video is awesome and really special. Thank you so much!
This is amazing! I’m glad this got covered!❤️❤️❤️ I heard about how in SF one of the protestors had her boyfriend come over and had sex in the building. Get this...... what was crazy about it was that the protestor was a wheelchair user and her boyfriend was an able bodied person. It was incredible because it showed that it doesn’t matter if you’re able bodied or not. You’re a human being that deserves to do whatever the fvck you please 😌 (I heard from a college tour guide in Berkeley when I was in high school)
Rest in power, Judy Heumann December 18, 1947 - March 4, 2023
Accessibility is still a huge issue. I had a health crisis that left me disabled and I hate not being able to go places that I want or literally see.
This show is amazing! Not only is it often hilarious, esp. w/ the lip-syncing, but it's actually educational, and inspiring, and often moves me to tears. I cried watching this one, the one about Edie Windsor & same-sex marriage, the one about Marjorie Stoneman Douglas protecting the Everglades, the one about Nellie Bly in the mental hospital, about Judge Julius Waties Waring & segregation, and about Harriet Tubman and Florence Nightingale.
There is a library in my city that has no ramp or elevator and they wont make it handicapped accessible because it's considered a historic building.
Oh my god, that pisses me off sooooo MUCH.
Report them. They are violating federal law
Yes!!! Love seeing Zach Anner in a drunk history video :)) fucking rocks my world. Also when I was in grade school my 504 plan saved my ass. Got good grades and went to college. Didn’t know the history behind it and I am grateful for the activists who made it possible. Really brings to light the struggles that people went through.
That dude is hilarious! He was in Speechless. It's awesome to see him doing more comedy.
My fiancé worked for Judy, sadly we attended her funeral recently. She was an amazing person from all accounts.
The way these folks came together is fucking heart warming.
One of the best episodes ever. So glad they finally put it here.
is that also where they came up with the Individualized Education Program (IEP) program in public schools for students with disabilities?
Judy Heumann went on to become one of the biggest advocates for people with disabilities of our time! She's still alive, and just put out an autobiography. She also features in the documentary "Crip Camp" on Netflix which talks about this as well as many other aspects of the community at the time.
Side note - I'm visually impaired. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)
Fabulous, she truly is a hero!
"Why would you want to be on the side of history that categorizes people rather than the side of history that's, like, liberating..."
Exactly that.
I love the actors in this one!
The nose!
omg the nose lmao!
J P it’s on point
I can't get over Sean Berdy in that wig! X'D
Thanks to Judith, I'm able to attend school and have my disabilities correctly and safely taken care of. Thank you Judith!♥️
After this, check out Ali Stroker's performance at the Tonys! She freaking won for best featured actress in a musical. She's so damn amazing :)
I once had an employer tell me that if I wanted to make more money.
I should get around without a cane.
As a Vietnam Vet,
My retort.
“I would,
If I could but
I can’t
so I wont”
🤟🏽😎🤚🏼
Best comeback ever. So much respect for you ✊
I did not expect to come here and cry, but here we are I guess. Yay for using people with real disabilities, best drunk history yet
I want to say THANK YOU JUDI. for all your help.
I was scared to watch this, cause I've loved the others, but it's hard to do this 1 justice. It was perfect! l'm super sensitive about this too, cause people were treated as less than animals, & not all have a voice that's understood.
I did advocacy, helped w/self advocacy, & my job was taking care of, & helping people w/disabilities before having some of my own. Disability history is huge for so many, & now more will understand. I loved this!!!
Brilliant! Much gratitude to the activists!
I loved it when the doctor started signing too
tearjerker? or am i just emotional today?
Carry the torch, make changes, advocate
I love that they got so many differently abled people to be involved in this. This is the right way your do representation. I’m obsessed. ☺️☺️☺️☺️
This is so much more than a simple comedy schtick. Thank you, Drunk History.
When the actor who played Joseh Califano acts asleep (again) after the victory trial burst me to laughter and it is 3:58am here..
Don't forget to appreciate the editor that made this image 5:08
the woman who said "oh shit I don't have my ventilator" was so funny!
The fact that they got Sean Berdy for this omg my heart 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Dude, I love the actors they hired have disabilities!
