25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act to be Celebrated Next Week

ADA 25th Anniversary Flyer

On July 26, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law. The ADA is considered to be one of the most significant civil rights laws passed since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, from which it draws heavily.

The ADA gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. The ADA also assures equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities for access to businesses, employment, transportation, state and local government programs and services, and telecommunications.

Dakota Center for Independent Living invites the community to come learn more about the ADA at their open house being held on July 23, 2015. The open house includes several activities to help the community understand the ADA, the impact it has had on the community and much more. The open house will be taking place at Dakota Center for Independent Living’s office at 3111 E Broadway Ave in Bismarck from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
