Arthur Campbell, Jr. doesn't want your sympathy, he just wants what most people do: a living wage, a meaningful social life, a few good laughs, and the means to get around.

From the remote hills of Kentucky to the hallowed halls of Congress, join Arthur on his unforgettable ride through life and the disability rights movement.
