“Muscatatuck was decertified and lost their ICF/MR certification that they'd had for about 20 years. And that was considerable revenue loss. And so, a decision was made through some -- a lot of discussion to -- that Muscatatuck would be closed.” Randy describes the process involved in closing Muscatatuck State Developmental Center in the early 2000s and the community’s reaction to the closure. “I was asked to go down and help at Muscatatuck…There were many weeks I never left the grounds from Monday to Friday.” Randy discusses the structure developed to transition people out of the state developmental center.

"It is something that is going to change minds as well as break down the barriers," states Ric Edwards on the impact of the ADA. He goes on to explain, “The most significant change has to be the mindset that has been changed because that has much more of an impact than any kind of brick and mortar changes, or programmatic changes, because that's where the whole problem starts is in the minds of people.” Ric recalls Indiana advocates who helped lay the groundwork to overcome barriers, but he knows there is more work to do. Ric states, “We’re not at all saying that we’re in a utopia because we have the ADA. We have a lot people that need to become more educated about what this is all about.” Ric was interviewed at the 2009 Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities Conference.
“He was very gracious, and he was definitely a character.” That is how Ric Edwards described Justin Dart. Ric shares a story about the first time he met Justin Dart. He says, “I didn’t know anything about him but by his reputation.” Ric found their time together entertaining. They shared a common understanding that their work with the ADA would not only affect them, but it would affect generations to follow.
One thing Ric learned from Justin Dart is the importance of being at the table when policies are being made. Ric states, “In order for us to make a change, people with disabilities, not only do we have to have this act, but we also have to have the ability to communicate with those people and become those people that are making the changes and the decisions." Ric was interviewed at the 2009 Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities Conference in Indianapolis.

This recording is a reflection and analysis of Sally Lied's time in the VISTA program. Recorded after she decided to discontinue her participation, she thoroughly dissects her experience and ruminates on the most salient moments of the three week trip. She discusses surface level topics such as the assignment of her group, living conditions, the family they stayed with, the role of cars and TV, the monitoring of phone calls and mail, some of the group activities and sessions, and how the education process would have been structured had she continued with the program. However, as the recording continues a much deeper reflection occurs on her experience mostly relating to racial tension and intersectional poverty, ways of organizing and uniting impoverished people as well as the difficulties of this work, adapting to southern culture during her time in Newnan, why poor people will likely remain poor, her own personal problems with the VISTA program, where the VISTA program works and where it doesn't, as well as the inability of the program to address both the problems of racism and poverty. Primarily, this recording discusses racial and class divides and the systems in place that keep racial groups at odds with each other. It provides insight as to contemporary social, economic, and political problems in the south. It seems as though Lied has prepared notes that she is presenting to a group of people who may be considering the VISTA program themselves. Side 2 appears to be a continuation of the lecture in side 1.
Originally "untitled," these recordings appear to be lectures that Sally Lied gave to a class about poverty (perhaps Upward Bound). She mentions returning to certain topics later in the course, so this may be a recording of the first day of class. The two sides of the recordings are presentations of the same lecture in two separate instances but the content of the lectures is identical, with variation in classroom participation and some examples used. She covers topics that include poverty in the 1930s versus in the 1960s, what groups are poor and why, common identities that intersect with poverty, how to force change, what tools people have to organize and unify to gain power, racism, and the effects of poverty.
