Mark: A Call to Action

The documentary “Mark: A Call to Action” shares the extraordinary story of Dr. Mark Bookman, a fully disabled disability scholar and activist from Philadelphia, PA, and how his tireless efforts helped raise awareness and positively impacted the lives of not only disabled persons, but also children, seniors and vulnerable populations in the United States, Japan, and other countries around the world.

Our hope with this documentary is to carry on Mark’s legacy and spark conversations about the ways in which architects, engineers, educators, policy makers, activists and others interested in making a difference – can help improve access and build environments that enhance the lives of the millions living with disabilities.

Mark’s support of inclusion was universal and his vision was clear – to eliminate obstacles so everyone can participate in study abroad programs as he had done in Japan.

We have the opportunity through the Mark Bookman Foundation, to bring together disability service organizations, scholars, practitioners, local business owners and members of the public to join in the conversation to create a more inclusive and accessible environment for all.

“One fundamental truth underlying every decision I make is the desire to overcome adversity.” ~ Dr. Mark Bookman
