Lois Curtis was institutionalized for years simply because she had a disability. But she refused to be forgotten. Her Supreme Court case, Olmstead v. L.C. (1999), made it illegal to confine people with disabilities when they could live in their communities. She became an artist, an activist, and a symbol of freedom. 🎨 Her paintings made it to the White House. ⚖️ Her case reshaped U.S. disability law. 🕊️ Her legacy lives on every time someone chooses inclusion over isolation. #tiktokencylopedia
