Hi Leys- I am a Speech Language Pathologist in St. Paul, Minnesota and wanted to thank you for your thought-provoking article. It makes me wonder how best to go about talking to the "other world" about stuttering. I guess it's a personal choice. John Carlos and Tommie Smith made a statement on an international level, the 1968 Olympics. But can thousands of people who stutter on a daily basis create the same impact just by talking openly and confidently about their stuttering, educating when possible, and calling out people who react inappropriately? Or is more drastic action needed?
