Louise Bailey’s Archive – to the Supreme Court and More

One of my (Jack) personal agenda’s is to be sure that at least ‘slices’ of the bitter and complex struggle for ‘inclusion’ – and inclusive education are on record and acknowledged. Rose tint and time can screen and even eliminate these stories. This is one slice of that history.

Louise Bailey was/is a mother first and foremost. She has a daughter who has never encountered segregation due to the relentless advocacy led by her mother. But that advocacy was for all children and thus decades of struggles with the Down Syndrome organizations, education systems, courts and ultimately the Supreme Court. Louise has made an edited collection of her materials available so that the relentless nature of the struggle in all its complexity is laid bare. It is not light reading. It is the truth.

This collection begins with two short documents from Louise: her own current reflection on her story, and a letter from Andrea’s dance teacher.
