A history of the ADA, which addresses precursors to it, is available at http://www.empowermentzone.com/history.txt Cheers, Jamal On 1999-04-15 [log in to unmask] said: I am going to do some research on the history of laws for the disabled. I am writing to this list to get some leads that will send me down the right track. I inquired about the GI Bill of Rights, figuring that maybe there was something in that for disabled World War II vets, but found nothing. Next, I am going to look into the history of the Veterans Administration, which I believe goes back to the end of the first World War. Am I on the right track? Does anybody know of laws or provisions made for blinded World War Two vets? Thank you for any feed-back. Peter Seymour VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List.
