VSA intern Julia Beck filmed this video at our partner, The Henderson Inclusion School, a few weeks ago during their Black History Month Show. We think it's pretty awesome and are hoping you'll agree and help to make it go viral with shares and likes. If the video touches you, please share it on your Facebook page. Don't use Facebook?

The student saying the speech is a fifth grader with disabilities and it was a major accomplishment for him to be able to perform the speech in front of an auditorium full of parents and classmates. Kati Blair Kotrc, VSA's Director of Education, met his mother before the performance and she was beaming with pride - "my son is the one who plays Martin Luther King, Jr. and says the 'I have a dream' speech."
We have a dream also . . . that one day, people of all abilities will have fair access to the arts and learning.
