- Synopsis
- According to 1990 census figures, about 43 million Americans, or one person out of every seven, have some form of disability. A disability is defined as any condition that limits a person's capacity to work or to perform tasks of daily living such as dressing, bathing, cooking, driving an automobile, or using a telephone. Judy Heumann, Paul Miller, and Ruth Sienkiewicz have widely varied disabling conditions. Yet they share one common bond. Each of them experienced the pain of discrimination. Though many challenges lie ahead, people with disabilities are becoming more visible on the streets, in the workplace, and in the media.
