Jonathan Taylor, head of New York City HLAA chapter, sent this link to a YouTube video of its Sept. 1st, 2020 meeting celebrating the anniversary of the landmark legislation establishing the ADA, the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Jonathan writes:
“The September 1 chapter meeting was a celebration of the ADA, with introductory remarks by long-time chapter board member, Anne Pope, about the history of the ADA and HLAA’s role in its enactment. We were honored to have JoAnne Simon as our main speaker. Ms. Simon is a member of the NY State Assembly for the 52nd District in Brooklyn and a disability rights attorney. She is a graduate of Iona College, holds a Master’s degree in Education of the Deaf from Gallaudet University, and a law degree from Fordham University School of Law, which she earned while working full time.”
