About the exhibit:ย Hey Buddy, I’m Billย tells the story of Bill Sackter, the namesake of Wild Billโ€™s in the University of Iowa School of Social Work. From his early lifeย in Minneapolis to his 44-year institutionalization for an intellectual disability to his years of friends and fame in Iowa City, the exhibit shares a glimpse into Billโ€™s life and legacy. The exhibit also acknowledges some of Iowaโ€™s own history with institutionalization and progress with disability rights.

Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowaโ€“sponsored events. If you are a person with a disability who requires a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in this program, please contact Sara Pinkham in advance at 319-467-1805 orย sara-pinkham@uiowa.edu.
