    “If you are working on a problem you can solve in your lifetime, you’re thinking too small.” Wes Jackson I have been blessed to spend time with some of our nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders— truly extraordinary people. When I listen to them tell their stories about how hard they fought to combat the issues of their day, how long it took them, and the fact that they never stopped fighting, it grounds me. Those extraordinary people worked at what they knew they would never finish in their lifetimes. I have come to understand that the historical arc of this country always bends toward progress. It doesn’t come without a fight, and it doesn’t come in a single lifetime. It is the job of each generation of leaders to run the race with truth, honor, and integrity, then hand the baton to the next generation to continue the fight. That is what our foremothers and forefathers did. It is what we must do, for we are at that moment in history yet again. We have been passed the baton, and our job is to stretch this work as far as we can and run as hard as we can, to then hand it off to the next generation because we can see their outstretched hands. This project has been deeply emotional for me. It brought me back to my youthful days in Los Angeles when I would be constantly harassed, handcuffed, searched at gunpoint - all illegal, but I don’t know that then. I can still feel the terror I felt every time I saw a police cruiser.

  • Disability Housing Rights and Building Codes in New York
    DISABILITY HOUSING RIGHTS AND BUILDING CODES OF NEW YORK by The Committee on Legal Issues Affecting People with Disabilities* A. INTRODUCTION People with disabilities are protected against housing discrimination on the basis of mental or physical disability by a series of federal, state, and local human rights and civil rights laws. These laws include Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act,1 the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),2 the Fair Housing Act (FHA),3 the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL),4 and the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL).5 Not only are people with disabilities protected from discrimination, they are also entitled to certain accommodations so that they can use and enjoy their homes. These various human and civil rights laws have corollary building standards, which are enumerated in the various sections below. There are essential distinctions between the two, as well as amongst the federal, state and city human rights laws with regard to definition of disability, remedies, geographic scope, procedures and who has standing to enforce them which the practitioner and claimant must pay close attention to. Because so many different laws protect the housing rights of people with disabilities, an individual who believes his or her rights have been violated must look at the various provisions of the different laws and determine which laws apply and what protections are available. For example, an individual with a disability who rents an apartment from a private landlord6 in New York City and requests that a ramp be built at the entrance is covered by the FHA, NYSHRL and the NYCHRL.
