On March 12, 1990, more than 1000 disability activists went to Washington to protest the US Congress stalling the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. (ADA) prohibiting discrimination of people with disabilities. When the group reached the capitol steps, they pulled themselves out of their wheelchairs and began to crawl up the steps to dramatically protest the lack of access for people with disabilities. BBC's "Witness History" takes on this historic disability moment talking to people who were there when it happened. Take 10 minutes out of your day to learn more about this historic moment that led to change. The ADA will turn 35 on July 26, 2025! #DisabilityRights #DisabledAndCapable #ADA35 ID: Image of two young woman crawling up the US capitol steps with photographers in front of them taking pictures.
