How wheelchairs, a river, and a spaceship challenged the status quo

This Throughline episode explores three acts of resistance: In Denver, the Gang of 19, a group of people with disabilities, blocked buses to demand wheelchair-accessible public transit. In Montgomery, Alabama, a protest song quietly became an anthem that galvanized generations of civil rights activists. And on 1966 broadcast television, a prime-time show offered a bold vision of the future that inspired Americans to dream bigger and imagine a more inclusive world.
