Equal Rights and Access FOR ALL: The Americans with Disabilities Act

Hi friends, happy Thursday!

Welcome to the Dark History Podcast. Some things are hard to talk about, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn't talk about it. Which is why we are going to talk about the horrible, dark, treatment that people with disabilities have received for years. And we will also discuss their fight that led to the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Plus the fight we still have to fight today.

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more dark history.

You can find Dark History podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts, and every Thursday here on my Youtube for the visual side of things.
