MCD50: Help Us Mark 50 Years of Disability Advocacy

MCD is gathering stories and history of the agency for our 50th Anniversary activities.

Some projects we are considering include:

  • Oral histories
  • A museum exhibit
  • Video and audio content

Your experiences and stories have shaped the disability rights movement. You are instrumental in how MCD works. MCD’s history is not possible without you. We need to hear from you!

We want to know your stories and memories. Do you have photographs or cool items that could help us tell our story about the past 50 years of MCD? The MCD 50th is about the community that has built us.

If you are able, please share this information with your network of friends and family. We want to hear from real people with real experiences and that can only come from sharing your stories and history with us.

Contact Ginger K. Hedstrom, MCD Archivist, at Ginger.Hedstrom@state.mn.us or 651-802-2144 (call or text). We will add you to our resource list and connect with you soon.
