The 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act
When Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), our country acknowledged that, “…the continuing existence of unfair and unnecessary discrimination and prejudice denies people with disabilities the opportunity to compete on an equal basis and to pursue those opportunities for which our free society is justifiably famous.”
On July 26, 2010, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ADA.
DREDF is proud to have been a member of the community that worked to pass the ADA and we are honored to continue to be a part of the alliance advancing the human and civil rights of people with disabilities.
Celebrate with us: share your photos and story

So everyone can enjoy and share your experience, please tell us when and where your photo was taken, what is happening in the photo, and what the image means to you. A written transcript must accompany audio files—you can paste a copy into the field.
