On Wednesday, July 1, at 1 p.m. ET, the “ADA Live!” podcast will feature an interview with the Honorable Tony Coelho, the chief sponsor of the ADA bill in the House of Representatives.
The podcast will be available at SoundCloud “ADA Live!” and an interactive transcript and text version will be available on the “ADA Live!” website.
The ground-breaking civil rights law, the Americans with Disabilities Act, turns 30 in 2020. Eve Hill, one of the nation’s foremost disability rights attorneys, will chat with Coelho about the passage of the ADA, how the ADA has transformed the lives of people with disabilities and a look toward the future of disability rights.
Coelho is a lifelong advocate for the rights of people with disabilities, and as someone with a disability who has faced discrimination, he shares his unique perspective on how the ADA has made an impact in the lives of people with disabilities. Coelho has had a distinguished career as a congressman, including serving as chair of the President’s Committee on the Employment of People with Disabilities from 1994 until 2001. He currently serves as chairman of the Epilepsy Foundation.
