Comparing Contemporary Tactics to the Work of the NBWHP

Schalk notes that while the NBWHP engaged heavily in the third tactic of not requiring individuals to use the word disability to describe themselves in order to participate in or receive support from Black disability cultural work that the NBWHP could have done more to engage in the first two tactics - for instance the NBWHP could have further encouraged members with HIV/AIDS chronic illness and psychiatric disabilities to understand themselves as disabled and the legal protections that come with that understanding.
