The Martin Luther King Day celebration is very meaningful to me because I
know that disability legislation such as the ADA would never have been passed
without the contribution of his civil rights work and predecessors like the
Civil Rights Acts.

However, I am disheartened that in all of the discussions of discrimination
and segregation, people with disabilities are never mentioned. Oprah did a
very good show on racial stereotypes and which group of ethnic minorities had
the least power. Of course, people with disabilities were never mentioned.

I think as a group we need to make this observance our own in whatever manner
possible.
