THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT AT 30 -- PART 19

VOICES OF VICTORY, CELEBRATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS
AND REMAINING CHALLENGES 
“So, I filed a state civil rights complaint. 

When my boss found out, he flipped out and screamed at me!,” Johnson-Wright recalled.

“Ultimately, I got the toilet seat riser and a security guard was assigned to help me with the building entrance. 

I never got a door opener for the restroom. Such behavior would be inconceivable in today’s climate.”

Now with 30 years under the ADA, Johnson-Wright said PWD know their rights and are asserting them.
