On Saturday, November 2nd, 2019, the Disability Rights Legal Center (DRLC) presented its 44th Annual Franklin D. Roosevelt Awards Dinner at Fox Studios in Los Angeles to benefit legal advocacy and representation on behalf of people with disabilities.
With his mother Tina Lee, Kodi Lee accepted the DREAM Award, for excellence in arts and entertainment, from DRLC Executive Director Jordan Kough. In a moving introduction, Ms. Lee reflected on the struggle that parents too often face as a result of the lack of accessible resources for children, as well as the joy and importance of finding a “village” of adults who recognize and cultivate the unique gifts of children of all abilities. Accompanied by his mentor Sal Spinelli on guitar, Kodi Lee delivered a stunning performance of “Way Down We Go” and “Imagine.”
