In America, the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) was signed in 1990. Curb cuts, ramps, closed captioning, and service dogs are now part of everyday life. The ADA was the result of decades of activism, including the Capitol Crawl in 1990, when disabled activists abandoned their wheelchairs and crawled up the steps of the Capitol. The steps were 83 feet. They crawled every inch.
