"Let the shameful wall of exclusion come tumbling down. As the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 was signed, President George H.W. Bush spoke those words. If you live long enough, youll develop a disabilityif you dont already have one. The 30-year-old act promises that despite that, youll easily cross streets, hold a job and live as independently as possible. Hows that working for us? This five-part podcast brings Pittsburgh-area people with disabilities finding their place in towns, stores and faith communities. The program is produced by PublicSource in collaboration with Unabridged Press and supported by The FISA Foundation.
