“This is a movement whose time has come,” Kennedy said during a forum on hiring the disabled at Crowne Plaza Hotel. “It’s the final chapter of the civil rights struggle.”
Kennedy, a lawyer, said that while the Americans with Disabilities Act, which marks its 20th anniversary next year, has been successful in some regards, meeting employment goals hasn’t been one of them.
