David recounts how he bristled when men and women told him to be “reasonable” in his expectation s for the future. Melvin remembers sitting in a chicago hospital with other kids who had been victims of gang violence, realizing that if he wanted to be taken seriously, he’d have to earn it– but how? Low expectations throw up barriers for a woman with muscular dystrophy, a man with cerebral palsy, a black man with paraplegia.
