Texas Disability History Collection

This is a report by the Texas Rehabilitation Commission. There is no specific date to the report but we know it belongs to the 70s. The cover page of this report depicts a female wheelchair user and the Texas capitol in the back surrounded by a brush area.  This report gives an overview of why people with disabilities needed to be hired in the 70s. There's  a quote in bold on the first page and it reads, " Texas State Agencies set the pace in helping the handicapped become tax contributors by working- rather than tax consumers". The report goes on presenting information on how the governor Preston Smith aided the project and presenting the benefits of why people with disabilities should be hired.
