Many specialists and experts around the world have started to investigate representations and lived experiences of disability and care in the past through archaeology and museum collections. The objects and remains highlighted here demonstrate some of the stories we are uncovering and hint at the discoveries that might be made in the future. We hope that these stories will demonstrate to everyone that disabled people have always existed and been part of the story of humanity, and empower disabled people to see themselves in history, and to continue making it, thousands of years into the future.

How Confederate General “Stonewall” Jackson Overcame Disability! (20.11.2024)

20/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The Ancient Greek idea of inner strength – mediated through a cultivated wisdom – was the Classical model Stonewall Jackson used to enhance his own health and social standing. Due to his honesty and humility, those who personally encountered his personality were always drawn toward his charisma. Although his family were not willing to “waste” money on a military education for their son, a friend of the family was made aware of an unusual Scholarship being offered which permitted “one” successful candidate to enter West Point to train as an “Officer” in the US Army. Around five very clever men competed for this Scholarship – and it was predictably won by an impoverished “Lawyer”. However, this “Lawyer” came from a privileged background and lasted just one-day when subjected to military discipline at West Point. The Scholarship was once again thrown open to the four remaining men – through another round of examinations – and Stonewall Jackson prevailed. This is how Stonewall Jackson gained access to West Point.

Tang Xiaopeng, 32, has worked at the base for seven years. Born with a congenital condition, he has used a wheelchair all his life. “My parents gave me my first life, but the employment base gave me a second one, allowing me to live with dignity,” said Tang.

As Tang grew older, he realized he could no longer rely on his aging parents. “The base provides a job, accommodation and meals. I can take care of myself and even contribute financially to my family,” Tang noted. Since 2017, he has saved over 70,000 yuan to help his family.

Thanks to continued government efforts and support from charitable enterprises, Liu’s employment base has grown, providing jobs for over 80 disabled people and conducting thousands of training sessions in employment and internet skills.

“Though our lives are tougher than those of physically abled healthy people, we all have dreams. Even if our wings are broken, our hearts still soar,” said Liu.

Atkin, a 39 year old veterinary science student involved in eight procedures, was also handed a 12-year sentence. Stefan Scharf, a 61 year old German national, was sentenced to four years and six months for removing a man’s testicle in Gustavson’s Camden flat, while Romanian Ion Ciucur, 30, received a five-year and eight-month sentence.

Another gang member had previously confessed to freezing the leg of an alleged ringleader of an extreme body modifications group, resulting in the limb needing to be amputated. Jacob Crimi-Appleby, a 22 year old from Epsom in Surrey, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Marius Gustavson in February 2019.

Crimi-Appleby was given a three-year and eight-month prison sentence. Nurse Nathan Arnold, 48, from South Kensington, west London, admitted to partially removing Gustavson’s nipple with a scalpel in the summer of 2019.

The offender confessed to having taken anaesthetic from the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital between the years of 2016 and 2022, where he was employed. Furthermore, he was found to possess 72 explicit pornographic images, described as “graphic and appalling” by the judge. He received a two-year custodial sentence which has been suspended, as well as 100 hours of unpaid work.
