About 60 of them cast aside their wheelchairs and other mobility aids and crawled up the Capitol steps. The“Capitol Crawl” was a physical demonstration to show others how inaccessible buildings can be. President George H.W. Bush signed the ADA into law on July 26, 1990. Disability Pride Month commemorates that event, highlights the continuing progress toward expanding rights, and offers a moment for individuals with disabilities to celebrate and reclaim public visibility.  \n“  \nAs people celebrate Disability Pride, they prove that disabled people haven’t just been surviving in the face of oppression  \nthey’ve been thriving.”  \n-Laken Brooks, Disability Rights Activist  \nEdward Verne Roberts was diagnosed with polio at age 14 in 1953. He became paralyzed from the neck down, relied on an iron lung, and attended high school via telephone until his senior year. He was accepted at the University of California Berkeley, but had to fight for the right to attend due to inaccessibility and discrimination. He ultimately earned two degrees and founded the Physically Disabled Students Program, which is still active today.  \n\n| Alice Wong was born with spinal muscular atrophy.
