Presentation by Jan Nichols, Author and Polio Pioneer at People Inc.’s Museum of disABILITY
People Inc.’s Museum of disABILITY History will host a presentation by Janice Nichols, author and polio pioneer on Thursday, October 6, at 5 p.m. at the Museum of disABILITY History, 3826 Main Street in Buffalo.
Janice Nichols is a polio survivor. In 1954, she was one of nearly two million children in the United States, Canada and Finland who participated in the Salk vaccine trial, which is the largest vaccine trial in the history of the world. Nichols made a complete recovery. Her book, “Twin Voices: A Memoir of Polio, the Forgotten Killer,” wraps her family’s personal story around the greater story of polio, the disease. A childhood victim of the 1953 Dewitt, New York, polio epidemic, Nichols personal and professional life have been profoundly shaped by her experience. Nichols lost her twin brother, Frankie, to the disease and suffered temporary paralysis, leading her to choose a career as a rehabilitation counselor. Despite setbacks, Nichols has never lost her optimism.
For more information about the presentation or to RSVP, call 716.629.3613. Read more about the presentation in the press release…
