Americans With Disabilities Act Turns 20

 

Monday marks the 20th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act,

one of the country's landmark civil rights measures. Advocates say the law has

transformed America, changing basic perceptions and expectations of the role of people with disabilities.  It has created an important obligation for the country

to create and achieve inclusion and access, which has made the United States a

world leader in safeguarding and promoting equal rights for all.
