Yahoo! recently released the event video for Independence 2011 on the Yahoo! YouTube Channel to share the Independence 2011 experience far and wide. Take a look and you'll see familiar faces such as Eliza Kaye, IHCD's Coordinator of Public Programs; Larry Goldberg, IHCD Board Member & Director of the National Center for Accessible Media at WGBH (NCAM); Alan Brightman, Vice President, Inclusive Design, Yahoo!; and Brian Charlson, Director of Computer Training Services, Carroll Center for the Blind.
