    ABOUT MR. BRAD LOMAX

    Brad Lomax, born on September 13, 1950, was a pivotal figure in the Black Panther Party and a passionate advocate for disability rights until his untimely passing on August 28, 1984. Raised in Philadelphia, his awareness of racial segregation at 13 and a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 1968 shaped his trajectory.

    Brad's activism began in 1969, founding the Washington chapter of the Black Panther Party. Instrumental in organizing the 1972 African Liberation Day demonstration and establishing the Washington D.C. Black Panther Party Free Health Clinic, Brad's commitment to justice expanded to disability rights after a personal struggle with public transportation in 1973.

    BRAD LOMAX

    Diagnosed in 1968, Brad's use of a wheelchair highlighted the pervasive lack of accessibility in public spaces. His advocacy intensified in 1974 as the public relations co-coordinator for the George Jackson Clinic, marking his entry into the disability rights movement. By 1975, Brad collaborated with Ed Roberts to create a Center for Independent Living in East Oakland, which operated for two years, laying groundwork for future initiatives.

    The pinnacle of Brad's activism occurred in 1977 during the 504 Sit-in at the San Francisco Federal Building. Protestors, including Brad, compelled the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to implement Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Their journey to Washington resulted in the signing of regulations by HEW Secretary Joseph A. Califano Jr. on April 28, 1977.

    Brad Lomax's legacy endures, transcending his death in 1984. His tireless efforts within the Black Panther Party and the disability rights movement continue to inspire today, reflecting a commitment to a more equitable and accessible society.
