Abstract

Leroy F. Moore Jr. has had a wide-ranging and influential career at the intersection of disability arts, advocacy, and activism. With Keith Jones, he cofounded the Krip-Hop Nation, a worldwide collective of artists and activists working to amplify the work of disabled creators. A crucial voice in expanding the presence of disability within the culture, Krip-Hop Nation is deeply informed by Moore's long career of activism in the worlds of disability justice (a movement and philosophy that Moore helped create) and racial justice. Krip-Hop, like Moore himself, is particularly insistent on confronting issues like police violence, sexual harassment, and employment discrimination that are disproportionately experienced by disabled people. Charles L. Hughes conducts an interview with Moore that explores popular music, justice, education, and the Disability Community.
