Judith Heumann's journey began in Brooklyn, New York, where she contracted polio at the age of 18 months. The disease left her paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair. Despite the physical challenges she faced, Judith's indomitable spirit refused to be broken.

At the age of 10, she was denied entry to her local elementary school because of her disability. Refusing to accept this discrimination, Judith and her parents fought back, sparking a legal battle that ultimately led to the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, which outlawed discrimination in public schools based on race and disability.

A Tireless Campaign for Equal Rights

Judith's advocacy work didn't stop there. As a young adult, she joined forces with other disability rights activists to challenge societal barriers and promote equal opportunities for people with disabilities. In 1977, she co-founded the Center for Independent Living (CIL),which provided support and resources to people with disabilities, helping them live independently in the community.

Judith's relentless efforts played a pivotal role in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, a groundbreaking law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, public accommodations, transportation, and other areas.
