 Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America (MPVA) has served Michigan for 48 years, "making a difference" in the lives of veterans, their families, and the public. We are a leadership organization reaching out on behalf of our members (veterans with spinal cord injury or disorders), associate members, and all people with disabilities to provide the highest possible quality of life in Michigan.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) 20th Anniversary |
|
July 26, 2010 marks the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). When signed into law, the ADA was hailed as the most sweeping civil rights legislation since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Twenty years after its passage the importance of the ADA cannot be denied. It has propelled into the spotlight: accessibility, universal design, and the idea of equal opportunity for those of us who live with disabilities.
As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the civil rights law, let’s commit to redouble our efforts to identify and knock down the remaining barriers to full citizenship that continue to thwart the beautiful vision of the ADA. Working together, we can build on the progress of the last 20 years and create an America that celebrates and invests in the talents, dreams and aspirations of its more than 54 million people with disabilities.
Please stay tuned to the July/August issue of the Rollin' Times Newsletter to learn even more about this important law. |
