The 11-story UC Berkeley student housing project under construction at People’s Park will be named Judith E. Heumann House, commemorating the disability rights leader who championed accessibility and justice around the world. “Some people say that what I did changed the world,” Heumann wrote in her 2020 memoir, Being Heumann. It’s a befitting feature for a complex that will bear the name of the “Mother of the Disability Rights Movement,” Rick Heumann said. “Today, we’re excited to share the news about Heumann House,” Gibson said, adding that additional details about the permanent supportive housing at the site and the surrounding park space are expected soon. Rick Heumann said he’s still inspired by stories about her impact and reach.
