Independent Man

"Ed Roberts once said, 'The only limits we have are the ones we place on ourselves.' In An Independent Man, Scot Danforth shares the manifold and crucial stories behind Roberts's personal growth. What influenced the Rolling Quads, and how did they become such a vital force in what developed into a disability rights revolution? This is an important and necessary book for anyone interested in human rights."--Stephen Kuusisto, author of Planet of the Blind
