Berkeley’s Center for Independent Living, which launched the disability rights movement, turns 50

Although Roberts was not included in CIL’s incorporation papers (by that time he had a master’s degree in political science and was teaching at California State University Northridge), he returned to Berkeley to take the helm of the fledgling organization as its executive director in 1974. A year later, CIL hosted the first national conference on independent living.
