Selma Blair Instagram – The Rehabilitation Act and The Americans with Disabilities Act were commemorated yesterday, on the South lawn of the White House. These landmark pieces of legislation are moving us towards the justice of a life with dignity.   What Judy Heumann, along with friends and colleagues within the disabled community did to ensure those needs were heard and met is miraculous. She passed this year, and it is with some heartbreak, grace and great determination, that those left behind proudly pick up her mantle. I would not have found this platform if not for the work that those before me had done. And keep doing. And it takes more than one group. We need allies and creative thinkers in all of our communities to recognize the disparity and help build a more equitable future for all of us. This day has been a North Star, a day to see and hug the people I cherish and admire. Those who welcomed me and teach me so I can help in return.   As I stood with @potus on the same spot where the ADA was signed on July 26, 1990, I look out at the distinguished guests in the audience and felt pride. On a scorching hot DC day, we celebrated each other and the strength that comes from our diversity.  The Rehabilitation Act and the ADA were not the destination, rather celebrated steps along the way leading us to each other.
