The dying among emerging “minority”

Heading to The University of Montana in Missoula this morning to do a guest stint in a journalism diversity class. Will be talking about emerging minority groups that might get vocal and activist in the next decade.

One guess: Aging baby boomers protesting in the street over Social Security and Medicare cuts.

Another: Dying and chronically sick people organizing against policies that discriminate against them or prevent them from exiting the world in the ways they wish.

Your guesses?



Spokesman-Review features writer Rebecca Nappi, along with writer Catherine Johnston of Olympia, Wash., discuss here issues facing aging boomers, seniors and those experiencing serious illness, dying, death and other forms of loss.
