Description
Sir Bert Massie's remarkable story is one of determination and advocacy. Born with polio, he defied expectations to become a champion for disabled rights, navigating prejudice and bureaucracy to achieve groundbreaking reforms. From his early campaigns as a teenager to his later successes as a social worker and advocate, Sir Bert's journey was marked by resilience and courage. He played a pivotal role in shaping disability policy, including the Disability Discrimination Act, and served as Chairman of the Disability Rights Commission before becoming a founding commissioner of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. This inspiring memoir, compiled from his own life experiences and with contributions from those close to him, offers a unique insight into Sir Bert's remarkable achievements and legacy.
