Summary
| Description | (Producer) This talk closely looks at and listens to a suite of visual and audio artifacts associated with disabled children. It then considers their role in shaping and reflecting attitudes toward the disabled, and thus shifts in the relationship between able and disabled. Among these will be Protestant tract illustrations, postcards found at the local pharmacy, studio family photographs, and imagery created for philanthropic fund raising by the Community Chest. Included are the Shriner's convention speech, some March of Dimes radio public service annoucements, and an Ohio Bell 1950s Easter seals homage. The speaker shows how these are certainly not the typical Tiny Tim Christmas treat, but instead how these images convey a sense of both blessing and curse.
