What was The American With Disabilities and why was it important
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. It was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush on July 26, 1990.
The ADA is important because it provides protection and equal opportunities for people with disabilities. Before the ADA, individuals with disabilities faced numerous barriers in their daily lives, such as inaccessible buildings and transportation, employment discrimination, and lack of access to public services. The ADA aims to remove these barriers and promote inclusion and equality for people with disabilities, allowing them to fully participate in society. It has had a significant impact in improving the lives of millions of Americans with disabilities.
