You are cordially invited to join us online for The Independence Center’s 2020 ADA Celebration. This year, we are commemorating the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act with a special virtual event. Speakers will reflect on life before and after the ADA, how it has impacted their lives, and discuss the challenges that remain.
