Stevie Wonder - "Make it Accessible"
Legendary musician Stevie Wonder makes heartfelt plea during his performance at Glastonbury asking for increased accessibility for disabled people.
As the closing performer at the 40th Anniversary of the Somerset Festival, Stevie Wonder made an emotional plea to the audience.
"I want you to encourage the world to make things more accessible for those who are physically challenged. Make it more accessible. Let there be nowhere that I can’t go being blind, that someone cannot go being deaf, someone cannot go being paraplegic or quadriplegic. Make it accessible so that we can celebrate the world as well as you can.".
Stevie Wonder - a United Nations Messenger of Peace - has often spoken out for the rights of disabled people.
He recently asked computer games manufacturers to consider the blind and to make games more accessible. He has also asked mobile phone companies to consider ways of increasing accessibility.
CBM helped 23,733,094 people with disability or at risk of disability in 2009.
