MCIL is dedicated to assisting all Americans to live independently. To help achieve our mission we support the national efforts of ADAPT, Not Dead Yet! and the local initiative of the Barrier Free Memphis Society.

MCIL News Release
is an archive of news items of ADAPT, The Barrier Free Memphis Society, PALs, The Memphis Center for Independent Living and Not Dead Yet that are of interest to people in the Memphis area. The archive is arranged from the most recent back to October of 1996.

MCIL Journal
is a weekly synopsis of issues and events relevant to people with disabilities in the Memphis area. This collection of candid articles and material is full of resource information on the many concerns of MCIL. The most recent entry is followed by an index of past journals.

The Declaration!
is the newsletter of the Memphis Center for Independent Living. We have listed on our website all the newsletters since the summer of 1996. The popular section, "On the Network," which lists things to buy or sell that are of interest to people with disabilities, is kept up to date on the internet. The Declaration! is printed quarterly and is available in alternate format, either tape or disk, with all the news of MCIL events and issues of the various grass-roots organizations in contact with the center.

The Center for Independent Living also must react to the ignorance and stereotypes about people with disabilities that still exist in our community. We have saved our responses and hope they will help you answering similar issues that people with disabilities encounter daily.
