Image Description (ID)

A square commemorative flyer with a green border and a collage of historic black-and-white disability rights photographs. The top image features participants climbing the steps of the U.S. Capitol during the historic Capitol Crawl protest. The lower-left image shows a disability rights advocate speaking passionately into a microphone while wearing a “Sign 504” button.

On the right side, the FRID logo appears above large text reading “ADA’s 36th Anniversary,” with “36th” written in a handwritten-style font. Below, the flyer states:

“36 YEARS AGO TODAY
THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW.”

The overall design honors the passage of the ADA and recognizes its lasting impact on accessibility, inclusion, and civil rights for people with disabilities.
