Keith Jones grew up in the 70's down south a black boy with CP. Against all odds he has refused to be anything less than a human being with all the same desires you have for yourself. He spoke of the struggle his mom faced from being told she should institutionalized. Well money and love couldn't afford that as an option. Today he is married and has two children. Despite being told he wouldn't even speak, he spoke tonight and inspired a room of hope full parents and service providers that we can teach and guide those around us of acceptance not of disability but rather possibility.
Keith Jones is featured in the documentary "INCLUDING SAMUEL"
I now have a copy of this video for those of you near me that would like to view it.
