From Scope:
November 2015 marks the twentieth anniversary since the Disability Discrimination Act became law in Britain. The law improved the lives of many disabled people and put anti-discrimination law on the statute book for disabled people.
However, it was the civil rights campaigners and activists who fought tirelessly to change the law that made this a remarkable moment in disability history.
We are marking this anniversary with a whole host of content on our website. Visit http://goo.gl/dpKjND to find out more.
