Section 504 protesters gathered at UN Plaza in San Francisco to protest government indifference and to insist that Section 504 regulations be signed.
On July 26, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA. Over a decade earlier, more than 100 people with disabilities took over a San Francisco federal building. In this story, we hear how they paved the way for the ADA.
Ever wonder what that building is connected to the Ashby BART station in South Berkeley?
Go up the connected ramp and you’ll enter the Ed Roberts campus. There are extra-wide elevators and big buttons at the base of the elevator to select your floor. The campus is spacious with lots of natural light, every bit designed for people with disabilities.
