MARYLAND CELEBRATES 24th ANNIVERSARY OF THE 

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT 

2014 Celebration will feature disability advocate Ricardo Thornton and 
music by The Dennis Fisher Band 

On July 26, 2014, Marylanders from across the state will come together
at the Cultural Arts Center (CAC) at Montgomery College Takoma Park /
Silver Spring to celebrate the 24th Anniversary of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). The 2014 celebration will recognize how far
society has come in promoting the rights and community inclusion of
people with disabilities in their efforts to lead productive, meaningful
and independent lives. The 24th Anniversary program will feature keynote
remarks by disabilities advocate Ricardo Thornton and music by The
Dennis Fisher Band. 

Free and open to the public, the ADA celebration will be held from 1:30
- 4 p.m. at the Cultural Arts Center at Montgomery College, 7995 Georgia
Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910. The event will begin with a
reception in the theatre lobby; light hors d'oeuvres and desserts will
be served. 

The 2014 Anniversary program will begin at 2:30 p.m. and feature
self-advocate Ricardo Thornton as the keynote. Ricardo is a leader of
the District of Columbia's self-advocacy coalition, Project ACTION! and
Co-Chair of the District of Columbia Developmental Disabilities Council.
Ricardo spent many years as a child and young adult at Forest Haven, an
institution for people with developmental disabilities located in
Laurel, Maryland (Forest Haven closed in 1991). In 1980, he left Forest
Haven to begin a new life in a group home with a job at the Martin
Luther King Library, which he has held for more than 35 years. Over the
years Ricardo, his wife Donna, another former Forest Haven resident, and
son Ricky have appeared in multiple interviews with Mike Wallace of CBS
"60 Minutes." Their story was also portrayed in a made-for-television
movie titled "Profoundly Normal." Today, Ricardo and Donna serve on a
number of Boards and committees where they are working to make things
better for people with disabilities. 

The program will conclude with music from The Dennis Fisher Band. Dennis
Fisher, a jazz, R&B, classical, contemporary, and swing organist, who
happens to be blind, has been making beautiful music for decades. Born
on April 16, 1941 to a determined and dedicated mother, Sara, who vowed
that Dennis would become educated, socially competent, and achieve the
highest degree of independence and self reliance possible. Dennis didn't
have time to entertain the notion of failure. Dennis formed his first
band very early in his career and hasn't looked back. He realized early,
that he could inspire audiences to pat their feet, snap their fingers,
bop their heads, and dance to his music. His current band, The Dennis
Fisher Band, being one of the very few remaining Hammond Organ bands in
the country, continues to delight and entertain audiences throughout the
Baltimore/Washington area, in addition to other areas of the United
States. Dennis has played with and learned from many legendary
musicians, including, but not limited to - the late Dexter Gordon, Sir
Walter Jackson, Charles Earland, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Don Patterson,
Mickey Fields, Jimmy McGriff, and a host of other talented musicians.
