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.

Joining the Maryland Department of Disabilities as sponsors of the 2014 celebration are Montgomery College at Takoma Park / Silver Spring; Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services, Aging and Disability Services; TransCen Mid-Atlantic ADA Center; Maryland State Department of Education - Division of Rehabilitation Services; Governor's Office of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing; Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene - Developmental Disabilities Administration; Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development; Maryland Department of Natural Resources; Maryland Department of Human Resources; Maryland Department of Transportation; Maryland Department of Aging; Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development; Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation; Maryland Department of Information Technology; Maryland Higher Education Commission; Maryland Developmental Disabilities Council; Maryland Department of General Services; Maryland Military Department; Maryland Department of the Environment and the Maryland State Police.
