Tom Olin Pictures

Tom Olin has been a social documentarian for more than four decades, primarily capturing the unfolding history of much of the Disability Rights Movement. Over the years, his understanding of and dedication to the Independent Living philosophy, his love for and friendship with the people driving the movement, and his years of participation as a person living with disability have developed into a unique journalistic style. All of this adds to Tom’s effectiveness and ability to capture important people and moments. His images command a premium in the social history marketplace because they are uniquely important to the telling of the disability story.

By supporting this campaign, you are supporting Center for People With Disabilities in acquiring a series of these timeless photos that will be used for display and education about the history of the Independent Living Movement, Disability Rights, how far we have come and where we are today. 

Your generous donation will allow us to appropriately purchase the photograph rights from the photographer and use them in our Boulder facilities. 

Thank you!!
