The signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26, 1990 opened doors that had been closed for far too long — in workplaces, schools, public spaces, and beyond — and affirmed what we at America Works have always believed: that disability does not limit potential, and that every person deserves access to opportunity.
