A Belated Appreciation of Justin Dart (1930-2002)

Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center

As the grandson of the millionaire founder of the largest drugstore chain in the United States, Justin Dart, Jr., was destined for an elite life of privilege. At age 18, instead of en-rolling at an exclusive university, he was given by fate another growth experience: contracting polio and learning about life from the caring hospital staff who touched him by responding to his hostility with love. This article highlights some other experiences in Dart's transformation into a tireless advocate for disability rights and, ultimately, "justice for all." The author also recounts how his own petty prejudice and stereotyping almost prevented him from getting to know this admirable civil rights leader.
