This is the second of two episodes celebrating Women's History Month with Arc St. Mary's resident and lifelong St. Mary's County resident Cheryl Knott. Both sides of Cheryl's family tree have called Southern Maryland home since the 17th Century before there was even a United States of America. Cheryl's own experiences as a woman with birth defects and physical disabilities show how social barriers were broken down by the advocacy of parents, teachers, and organizations such as the Arc. Listen to Cheryl's experiences from 50 years ago of going to Annapolis to advocate for other disabled people, and how interconnected her family is to the movers and shakers of St. Mary's County.
Special shout out to St. Mary's County State Senator Jack Bailey, the St. Mary's County Historical Society and volunteer society researcher Joan Wise. Find out how you can help support the society here.
