Join the U.S. Access Board for a Virtual Celebration of the ADA on July 29

The U.S. Access Board will celebrate the ADA's 30th anniversary with a
virtual public meeting on July 29 from 1:30 - 3:00 (ET). The event will
feature a discussion of the ADA and its achievements with guest speakers and
Access Board members.

It will start off with a documentary that provides a vivid picture of the
world before the ADA, including widespread discrimination of people with
disabilities and early achievements of the disability rights movement.
Sruthi Subramanian, a high school student, will introduce and discuss her
11-minute film, which she created for a National History Day competition.

Judy Heumann, a leader in the disability rights movement and lifelong
advocate for people with disabilities, will discuss the accomplishments of
the ADA. Board Member Sachin Pavithran will join Heumann in this
conversation, which will also examine the important role disability rights
advocates played in passage of the ADA and its implementation as a landmark
civil rights law.

The event will conclude with a presentation from Board Member and architect
Karen Braitmayer, FAIA on how the ADA has spurred architecture and design to
be more inclusive of everyone. She will also review new frontiers in
accessibility and work that lies ahead to maintain the promises of the ADA.

This virtual meeting is open to the public and everyone is welcome to
attend. Log-in details will follow and be posted on the Board's website
