posted on Dec 14 by Stacy in the Disability News category

Late last week, Stevie Wonder was honored as a U.N. Messenger of Peace. About the award, he stated that he wanted to focus on disabilities. He spoke about the importance of joining together for people with disabilities. “It’s about sounding that alarm off that says to the 90 percent [without disabilities]: it’s time to get it together for those of us with disabilities.”

Wonder wants to end the ignorance surrounding disabilities and spread awareness of the 650 million people worldwide that have some type of disability.

Stevie said, “If you love my music that much, then care about those ten percent as well. There are 650 million disabled people in the world. Lets do something about that. Lets make a change.”
