Why Stacey Park Milbern was chosen
Milbern was chosen for building disability justice as a framework that centers the leadership of disabled people of color, work that grew out of and pushed beyond the earlier disability rights movement’s focus on legal access.
She organized mutual aid networks, mentored younger disabled activists, and helped popularize disability justice principles that continue to shape organizing well beyond the communities she worked in directly.
Collecting the Stacey Park Milbern quarter
With only about 154.6 million struck, circulated Milbern quarters currently trade for face value but have a noticeably lower mintage than most of the series.
As one of the final, lower mintage dates in the program, some collectors are setting circulated rolls aside on the chance that scarcity becomes more meaningful once the coins age out of everyday circulation, though for now there is no established premium.
