CID Name Change Focuses on People First
For more than 30 years, CID stood for Center for Independence of the Disabled. The board of directors embarked on the process of rebranding CID, including the development of a new logo, and the change of the corporate name to Center for Independence of Individuals with Disabilities. The CID abbreviation is still going to be used because we are well-recognized for those initials. Putting the Individual first in our name is one way that CID expresses the importance of the people who receive services.
Celebrating Ed Roberts DayOn January 23 we celebrate Ed Roberts Day. Ed Roberts began the disability rights movement 40 years ago. Now he has his own California day. Roberts, who was the first Berkeley student to rely on a wheelchair when he arrived in 1962, is recognized as the father of the Independent Living Movement.
In 2010, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill creating Ed Roberts Day, in honor of the Burlingame born and raised pioneer for disability rights. Ed Roberts is responsible in so many ways for the fact that CID exists today and is now able to help anyone with a disability obtain greater independence. Ed Roberts Day will be celebrated each January 23, and the bill encourages the nation to commemorate Roberts' drive for disability rights. State Senator Loni Hancock, a former neighbor of Roberts, introduced the bill. Ed Roberts died in 1995. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
