Camera Works: ADAPT

    ADAPT is a disabled-rights activist group, which started in 1983 and has grown to about 1,500 members, was instrumental in gaining support for the Americans with Disabilities Act, enacted July 26, 1990. The ADA became one of the biggest pieces of U.S. civil rights legislation. To the disabled, the ADA has the same resonance as the 1964 Civil Rights Act had for African Americans.
