Not because of disorder, but because long-standing tensions were finally named. This episode examines what happened when Black clinicians challenged the limits of a profession that defined itself as “neutral,” and what that moment revealed about power, voice, and professional growth.\nWe explore:\nThe Denver moment: Why ASHA leadership responded to internal and external dissent with heightened security.\nThe “birdwatcher” debate: Whether a professional association can remain technically neutral in a socially unequal world.\nExit and voice in action: How the National Black Association for Speech-Language and Hearing emerged.\nClinical consequences: How this advocacy reshaped the profession’s understanding of difference versus disorder.\nSources:\nMalone, R.
