TASH and Music From The Heart Release Disability Rights Recording TASH, an international disability rights and advocacy organization collaborated with Jeff Moyer on this important retrospective on the last quarter century of the U.S. disability rights movement. This important collection of spoken word and music selections incorporates the stirring and memorable oratory of the late Justin Dart, an internationally prominent leader within the disability rights movement, with the songs and poetry of Jeff Moyer, a leading songwriter, musician, and disability rights activist.
The album contains a diverse range of songs and spoken elements, which touch a wide palette of emotions and political sentiments. Nancy Weiss, Executive Director of TASH said, "This album teaches, entertains, inspires, uplifts and challenges. We believe that those both within and outside the Disability Rights Movement will find this album a treasured addition to their personal audio collection. TASH is proud to collaborate on this project which embodies the spirit and focus of TASH and the progressive voice of the disability rights movement." Mary Jane Owen, longtime pundit, writer, and leader within the disability rights movement said, "Jeff Moyer has lived at the very heart of the struggle for equity and justice for people with assorted disabilities and he celebrates the history of that effort in his kaleidoscopic review in words and music. The rich diversity of styles and techniques - its rhythm, joy, and blues reflect the differences that make each of us unique. We are members of a minority once characterized as a sleeping giant unaware of its power. Those who listen to this lively history will surely awaken to possibilities."
