Berkeley News on the late Judy Heumann
"That also is true for Hari Srinivasan who, as a student, met Heumann when he interviewed her in 2019 for the Daily Californian. Srinivasan, who graduated with a degree in psychology last year, said the warmth and encouragement Heumann gave to everyone she knew is a “huge impetus to strive for more and carry on her work.”
“She called for us to be feisty and disabled. To demand for our rights and to call out discrimination. She herself never took no for an answer,” said Srinivasan. “… I wish I could have known her longer. I join millions around the world in saying, ‘I so, so miss you, friend.'”
Excerpt from a poem by Hari Srinivasan: “Judy my friend, we mourn your passing/But celebrate your life, your impact everlasting/Your legacy will continue, a beacon of hope/For a future where all can thrive and cope.”"
