Oral Histories
To contextualize the materials posted on this portal, The ADA Project has engaged in a series of activities to document the process used to create the ADA and ADAAA as well as reflections on their impact. Our first interview was with former U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commissioner Chai Feldblum, where we spoke with her about her experiences negotiating and later enforcing the ADA as well as her hopes for the future of this area of the law.

Read about our conversation with Chai Feldblum — “The Past, Present and Future of the ADA”.
Next, we spoke with one of the Project’s collaborators, Kevin Barry, who was among the team of lawyers that successfully negotiated draft legislative language that culminated in the passage of the ADAAA.
Read about our conversation with Kevin Barry — “Expanding Access to Rights Under the ADA: The History and Impact of the ADAAA.”
Additional materials will be posted in 2021.
