2015 marks the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. On July 26, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the law which prohibits discrimination based on disability. To mark this important day, The Minnesota State Council on Disability is hosting a Family Fun day at the Minnesota History Center, Sunday, July 26, from noon 4 p.m. There will be interactive exhibits and live entertainment.
As part of the celebration, The Office of Accessibility, a program of MNIT Services, /mnit/assets/Employment%20and%20Disability%20in%20Minnesota%20Infographic%20%28final%20tagged%20graphics%20added%29.pdf_tcm38-61699.pdfhas created an infographic that looks at key milestones that impact Minnesotans and accessible information technology. Some of the highlights include when Minnesota passed its accessibility legislation requiring all websites and technologies be accessible (2009); and when YouTube first began supporting captions (2006).
