Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Dr. Dybwad believed in rights for those with mental and other disabilities and fought for laws to protect individuals with these differences and challenges. It's hard to believe that individuals like myself were once institutionalized and given poor living and learning conditions and had no voice to say that they felt unsafe and unloved."
