Timelines and Love

In a post by friend Kate from Australia, "It’s still a long road to full inclusion for people with dementia." It would be interesting to see a timeline of when the AWARENESS that Dementia/Alzheimer's existed first began in the medical field as well as in public opinion, when people began publicly ADMITTING to and talking about it with and for their loved ones, when ADVOCACY for those diagnosed with Dementia/Alzheimer's began, when those diagnosed started speaking up for themselves demanding INCLUSION, etc etc.

Also, not to diminish the journey ... it is still a long road to full inclusion for people with dementia, of color, the gay community, immigrants, those marginalized by society, etc. Why oh why is so much time and energy and money and sadness spent on something that could if solved in a moment with ignorance and intolerance lifted if people could just realize we are all one, all the same, all need love?
