Happy 34th Anniversary Celebration: Americans for Disability Act.
The National Toxic Encephalopathy Foundation (NTEF) wants to thank The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) for hosting the 34th Anniversary Celebration this year.
On July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was the world's first comprehensive civil rights law by President George Bush. This bill afforded the disabled population greater access and protection especially in employment, public buildings and educational institutions etc
On July 25, 2024 from 5:30-7:30 ET,. the AAPD will be hosting both in person and virtually the celebration for the anniversary, at the Salamander Hotel Washington, DC, 1330 Maryland Ave SW, Washington, DC 20024
The highlight of this year's ADA anniversary celebration will be a panel centering the stories of disabled advocates of color who participated in the Capitol Crawl and who have continued to fight to advance disability rights and justice since the passage of the ADA.
