Summary

"It's been a long road for those who fight for disability rights. Including the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act and beyond, legal reform has often proven key to making sure these rights are protected, and that fight continues today. This book examines the history of disability rights laws in the United States and how they've made a difference throughout the years, along with setbacks along the way and how people continue to work for these laws now. Intriguing fact boxes, full-color photos, and historic details will draw in readers and showcase how much laws matter"-- Provided by publisher.
