jul 2, 1964 - 1964: Civil Rights Bill Bypasses Persons with Disabilities
Description:
The Civil Rights Act is passed. While this act helps end discrimination against African Americans and women in the workplace, it does NOT make any provision for people with disabilities. Individuals with disabilities still lack opportunities to participate in and be contributing members of society, are denied access to employment, and are discriminated against based on disability.
