About this event
#OnThisDay, Bush signs the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. It affords similar protections against discrimination to Americans with disabilities as the Civil Rights Act (CRA) of 1964, which made discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, and other characteristics illegal. In addition, unlike the CRA, the ADA also requires covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities and imposes accessibility requirements on public accommodations.
