We're sharing another article today about the intersection of Black history and people with disabilities. The disability rights movement gained momentum in the 1960s and 1970s, using the guiding principles of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

The disability rights movement was successful in helping to pass several important pieces of legislature to improve the lives of people with disabilities, namely the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Olmstead Act passed in 1999, which affirms the right of people with disabilities to live in community settings vs. institutions.
