EVERYONE BENEFITS FROM INCLUSION

THE ADA MAKES US STRONGER

AS A PEOPLE AND AS A NATION

I read with great interest the Miami Herald’s local coverage of perceived abuses of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The ADA is the only civil rights legislation on the books for people with disabilities.

People with disabilities had to wait a quarter century after the great civil rights legislation of the 1960s to get their rights protected by federal law.

For better or worse, those who framed and adopted the ADA forced people with disabilities to litigate to uphold their rights. 

There is no ADA police, no ADA code compliance unit.
