Since the nineteenth century, Americans with disabilities have fought for a range of personal and civil rights. The ABC-CLIO Companion to the Disability Rights Movement chronicles this struggle during the last 150 years. It presents biographies of pivotal individuals and groups in the movement, including Justin Dart, Judy Heumann, Ed Roberts, Frank Bowe, and such organizations as the American Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities and Americans for Disabled Attendant Programs Today. Other entries, many of them illustrated, cover legislation, programs, litigation, historic events, and concepts.
