This webinar is part of our series “The Human Experience of Black People with Disabilities and Their Rights Under the ADA,” which reports on our research study about how Black individuals with disabilities access information and exercise their rights under the ADA.
This session reports research findings and explores the intersection of race, disability, and rights under the ADA. We will share key themes from the research, including the systemic barriers Black individuals with disabilities face in exercising their rights. Topics will include access to information about the ADA, the role of advocacy, and recommendations to improve access, awareness, and inclusion. We will also highlight the strength and resilience of Black disabled communities, as well as strategies for collective action to address injustice.
