Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: People with disabilities are a large and growing minority population in the United States. As with all minority groups, people with physical disabilities confront unequal status and opportunities compared to the majority group. The pervasive oppression against people with disabilities is known as ableism. This paper will use W.E.B. Du Bois�s concepts to explore the experiences and treatment of people with physical disabilities. Du Bois is particularly suited for the exploration of disability and ableism because of his approach to the study of race and racism�s impact on African-Americans. Accordingly, this paper will begin by evaluating three key concepts addressed in The Souls of Black Folk: the veil, double consciousness, and twoness. The paper will next apply Du Bois�s ideas of the veil and double consciousness to the experiences and treatment of people with physical disabilities. Following will be an analysis of these two ideas to explain the twoness of people with physical disabilities in American society. Finally, the paper will analyze the main ideas and arguments made by Du Bois about African-American education in �Does the Negro Need Separate Schools?� to address the current debate about whether or not people with physical disabilities should be �mainstreamed� in the education system in light of their twoness.
