À propos du livre
This is an oral history commemorating the 30th anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The authors interviewed six activists from the disability rights group Chicago Americans Disabled for Attendant Programs Today (Chicago ADAPT), ranging in age from fourteen to sixty-four, in order to compare the memories of the activists who were around for the ADA's passage with the perceptions of younger activists. The interviews were then fact-checked for accuracy. The book poses the idea that the younger activists embody the ADA's legacy. Large print and complete with illustrations, for disability access!

À propos du créateur
Chicago ADAPT
Chicago, Illinois, USA
Founded in 1984, Chicago ADAPT is one of the longest-running chapters of the ADAPT collective, which fights for disability rights. ADAPT's motto is "Free Our People!" and its central push is for an end to the institutional bias that results in disabled people being isolated from the community. Chicago ADAPT also takes on related issues, such as affordable, accessible housing and adequate pay for the Personal Attendants (PAs) that ensure quality of life for people with disabilities in their homes.
