The main focus of Keith Jones' keynote speech at the PEAC conference was focused on inclusion not only in the academic setting, but inclusion for individuals with disabilities into society as well.
Last year, Oprah Winfrey held a contest in which one contestant would be receiving their own show on the Own network. Zach Anner was one of the candidates in the running for his own show called "Rollin' With Zach."
Zach Anner, a 27 year-old man who is wheelchair bond due to cerebral palsy, is a great example of inclusion into society. In his videos he travels all over America showing viewers different tourist attractions, in a light and comical manner. While creating these episodes he also shows just how inaccessible things within the community can be for individuals with physical disabilities.
