Lives Worth Living: Fred Fay, September 1944 - August 2011
In Memory of Fred Fay, a Life Worth Living. During this 25th anniversary of the ADA, we remember Fred and what he worked to secure - unprecedented access to civil rights for Americans with disabilities.
As a disability policy adviser to the Administration and Congress, Fred was instrumental in winning passage of Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, the ADA of 1990, and the IDEA of 1997.
