Dr. Gunnar Dybwad is my unsung hero. Gunnar and his wife supported a group of children with disabilities, and, in the early stages of his career, they worked in a prison in New York State for young people, many of whom had intellectual disabilities. They learned how poorly those kids had been treated by the education system and how many had been failed and left behind by schools. During this time, Adolf Hitler had been brutally killing children with disabilities because he thought that these kids weren't worthy of life. 

Gunnar encouraged standing up and advocating for the children who couldn't speak for themselves. By doing this, Gunnar helped many kids get the help they needed and opened the eyes of teachers who didn't know how to teach disabled kids. 

Gunnar also wrote many papers about how to care for children with disabilities and about his thoughts on how the world treated these kids. I interpreted Gunnar‘s image behind a paper with writing on it in front of a mic stand, where he is speaking his thoughts and opinions. 

Gunnar's impact was to teach educators how to treat kids with disabilities kindly, and he helped many kids learn in a safe environment. He helped fight against rude stereotypes and shaped the world to be more aware and kind to everyone.
