When's the last time you heard a speech about accessibility on an awards-show stage?
Thankfully, we had Stevie Wonder at the Grammys to give us the pleasure.
One of America's most beloved musical icons reminded us that he's also one of 48 million Americans living with a disability on Monday when he opened the envelope to announce the song of the year, revealing that it was written in Braille.
"You can't read it, you can't read Braille!" Wonder joked to applause and laughs, before bringing his message back down to Earth.
"We need to make every single thing accessible to every person with a disability," he told the crowd.
That's a message worth repeating, as much as possible.
