Three Ways to Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act

July 27, 2020 By Deborah Edwards-Onoro

ADA 30: Americans with Disabilities Act, Celebrate the AA on July 26, 2020.

“And now I sign legislation which takes a sledgehammer to another wall, one which has for too many generations separated Americans with disabilities from the freedom they could glimpse but not grasp.”
