About the event
Nothing About Us Without Us: Advancing Disability Rights in Dallas
In honor of Disability Pride Month, hear from Dallas leaders as they reflect on the impact of advocacy and explore the future of disability rights in Texas and across the country. The disability rights movement of the 70s and 80s was led by disabled individuals who fought for accessibility, independence, and full participation in society. Their efforts led to the 1973 passage of the Rehabilitation Act, which prohibited discrimination based on disability in federal programs, and the 1990 signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These are landmark laws that ensure civil rights protections for people with disabilities in areas such as employment, transportation, and public accommodations. Today, movement’s legacy continues to inspire ongoing efforts for equality, inclusion, and respect.
