The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on this date in 1990. “The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public.” The law ensures that equal rights and opportunities are given to people with disabilities.
