Description
Service dogs, wheelchair accessibility, protection against being fired due to a disability–these basic rights are all a result of the American Disabilities Act passed in 1990. Even though 1 in 4 people in this country have a disability, it took years of street-level activism and political advocacy to bring the ADA and its precursors into existence. The standalone second issue of Do Not Pet is the story of that fight in graphic form, introducing the disability rights movement’s boldest leaders, as well as everyday people who joined the cause, of the 70s and 80s.
