Jonathan M. Young, a Ph.D. candidate in American history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Project Director for the NRH Research Center, conducted in-depth research, interviewed many key participants in the ADA’s passage, and authored the manuscript. Gerben DeJong, Ph.D., Director of the NRH Research Center, provided overall guidance and advice in addition to reviewing the document. With the support of Dr. DeJong and Karen Behe, Ruth Brannon initiated this project for the NRH Research Center, conducted oral interviews, and collected many documents, which culminated in the development of an annotated outline in 1995. Between 1990 and 1992, prior contractors, including Alexander Vachon, began work on a history of the ADA, conducted selected interviews, and collected materials for NCD, portions of which were made available for this project. The Civil Rights Committee of the National Council on Disability coordinated the development of this project: John Kemp, Chairman; Hughey Walker, Vice-chairman; Lilliam Rangel Pollo; Rae Unzicker; Marca Bristo, ex officio; and Kate Pew Wolters, ex officio. NCD Chairperson Marca Bristo reviewed multiple iterations of the manuscript and contributed significantly to its development. Billie Jean Keith was the NCD staff person to the Civil Rights Committee and followed the manuscript from beginning to end. Mark Quigley, NCD Public Affairs Specialist, coordinated publication of the manuscript. Staff at the NRH Research Center assisted in the general development of the project. Special recognition goes to Rachel Halpern and Ben Wheatley, who helped edit the manuscript, as well as to Phillip Beatty, Olga Elizabeth Hayes, Barbara Maloney-Darbeau, Lee Ann McNnerey, Georgette LaFayette Smith, and Sabrina Smith. Kathy Butler and Antonio de Guzman, at the NRH Research Center Library, were invaluable resources for research. In addition, George Koch provided important access to the law library of his firm, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart. Staff at the House and Senate Libraries and Parliamentarian’s offices were indispensable sources of information. Frank Young, Leanne Young, and Bob Atwood provided essential editorial assistance. Personal interviews were transcribed by Ann Rand of Medical Dictation Services, Inc. Mary Flannery designed the cover. Numerous individuals provided invaluable feedback on the complete manuscript or parts of it: Yerker Andersson, Ruth Brannon, Maria Cuprill, Lex Frieden, Paul Hearne, Mark Johnson, Evan Kemp, Chris Lord, Marla Miller, Phyllis Rubenfeld, Liz Savage, Melissa Schulman, Robert Silverstein, Roger Slagle, Roland Sykes, and Pat Wright. The manuscript is stronger and more accurate because of their comments. Special thanks go to the 54 individuals who gave their time and insight in personal and correspondence interviews as sources for this historical account: they are listed in Appendix A. Many of these interviewees also provided access to their personal papers and made themselves available for follow-up fact-checking. Without them this history would have been impossible.

  • Disability History: an Introduction
    Disability History: An introduction Take a journey through the rich history and culture of the disability community with Lawrence Carter-Long (LCL) as your guide. LCL, the communications director at the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREFD), a national civil rights law and policy center at the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley, California, is a lifelong activist. Transcript begins. [rhythmic violin and percussion music] [A lean, middle-aged white man with bleached-blonde hair swaggers with cerebral palsy into a building through an automatic sliding door. He stops at the base of a red, spiral ramp—the centerpiece of the lobby at the Ed Roberts Campus—and speaks to the camera.] LAWRENCE CARTER-LONG: In 2011, the Ed Roberts Campus opened in Berkeley, California, named after one of the founders of the independent living movement—a now worldwide movement of disabled people working for equal opportunity, self- determination, and respect. [A montage of photos and footage shows disability rights protests from around the world.] LCL: Here at the Ed Roberts Campus, accessibility is not an afterthought. It’s built in— everything from the architecture to the tenants here in the building, advocacy groups, nonprofits, the supports and services. [on-screen text: Lawrence Carter-Long, Communications Director, Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund] [LCL turns and walks up the spiraling ramp. A person in a wheelchair speeds down the ramp, past a photo mural of the 5O4 sit-in. LCL proceeds to narrate the history of the disability rights movement in the US from various locations in the building.] LCL: Disability rights are a part of civil rights history, but in order for that to be understood by the masses, we’ve got to get behind it in the ways that people have fought to include other things.

  • Political History of Nevada: Chapter 1
    Political History of Nevada Chapter 1 Politics in Nevada, Circa 2016 37 CHAPTER 1: POLITICS IN NEVADA, CIRCA 2016 Nevada: A Brief Historiography By EMERSON MARCUS in Nevada Politics State Historian, Nevada National Guard Th e Political History of Nevada is the quintessential reference book of Nevada elections and past public servants of this State. Journalists, authors, politicians, and historians have used this offi cial reference for a variety of questions. In 1910, the Nevada Secretary of State’s Offi ce fi rst compiled the data. Th e Offi ce updated the data 30 years later in 1940 “to meet a very defi nite and increasing interest in the political history of Nevada,” and has periodically updated it since. Th is is the fi rst edition following the Silver State’s sesquicentennial, and the State’s yearlong celebration of 150 years of Statehood in 2014. But this brief article will look to examine something other than political data. It’s more about the body of historical work concerning the subject of Nevada’s political history—a brief historiography. A short list of its contributors includes Dan De Quille and Mark Twain; Sam Davis and James Scrugham; Jeanne Wier and Anne Martin; Richard Lillard and Gilman Ostrander; Mary Ellen Glass and Effi e Mona Mack; Russell Elliott and James Hulse; William Rowley and Michael Green. Th eir works standout as essential secondary sources of Nevada history. For instance, Twain’s Roughing It (1872), De Quille’s Big Bonanza (1876) and Eliot Lord’s Comstock Mining & Mines (1883) off er an in-depth and anecdote-rich— whether fact or fi ction—glance into early Nevada and its mining camp way of life.

In the Philadelphia area, the Jewish Special Needs/Disability Inclusion Consortium works to expand opportunities for families of students with disabilities. The Consortium is excited to share these comprehensive lesson plans with schools, youth groups, and early childhood centers in our area. We hope that the children in our classrooms and youth groups will eventually become Jewish leaders and we hope that thinking about disability awareness and inclusion will become a natural part of their Jewish experience. We appreciate you making time for teachers to use these lessons during February—or whenever it’s convenient for you. For additional resources, please email me at gkaplan- [email protected] or call me at 215-320-0376. Thank you to Rabbi Michelle Greenfield for her hard work on this project and to Alanna Raffel for help with editing.

MARTINEZ** W. PAUL MCKINNEY*** I. INTRODUCTION The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)1 prohibits discrimination in employment,2 public services,3 and public accommodations4 against individuals with disabilities.5 The threshold question, however, of who is an individual with a disability has proven to be more complicated, contentious, and confusing than any of the ADA’s drafters ever could have imagined. The law does not prohibit all discrimination based on disability, and it does not prohibit discrimination against all individuals with disabilities.
