🎊Happy 34th Anniversary to the ADA!

'🎉This month marks the 34th anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Act! Passed on July 26, 1990, the ADA is a landmark in civil rights legislation, offering millions of Americans with disabilities life-changing accommodations and support.

⭐️A Quick History of the ADA
Decades of grassroots efforts by disability activists and community advocates created a groundswell of support for the eventual creation and passage of the ADA.

🎉The passage of Section 504 in the 1973 Rehabilitation Act established crucial precedents for the ADA: it was the first time in American history that individuals with disabilities were formally recognized as a distinct class of people that could be discriminated against.

⭐️The ADA prohibits this kind of discrimination, protecting disabled individuals in several areas (employment, transportation, communications, public accommodations, and equitable access to state and local government programs and services).
