[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8 year old Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins at the Capitol Crawl. https://boundarystones.weta.org/2021/09/16/capitol-crawl[/quote] This was a pivotal moment for the disability movement and the photo and videos of Jennifer crawling on her hands up the Capitol steps directly influenced lawmakers and public opinion leading to Bush signing the ADA a few months later. This photo actually changed lives and was too difficult for lawmakers to ignore a little girl who couldn’t get into the building without crawling up so many stairs (requiring water breaks and breaks with her inhaler) because the Capitol wasn’t acccessible.
