The Mid-Atlantic ADA Center invites you to participate in the webinar 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.

For Black individuals with disabilities, systemic barriers can present unique challenges in securing equal opportunities and exercising fundamental rights. This webinar will delve into the legal landscape of civil and disability rights, highlighting key legislation and protections. We will explore common barriers faced by individuals with disabilities, including discrimination, inaccessible environments, and lack of inclusive policies. Participants will learn advocacy strategies to overcome these obstacles, ranging from self-advocacy and community organizing to legal recourse and policy engagement.
