KENTUCKY — The year 2020 is the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

It was signed into law in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush. The law was meant to eliminate discrimination towards individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including transportation, schools, and in the workforce.

During this In Focus Kentucky segment, we highlight Louisville resident Arthur Campbell, Jr. He has been pushing and sometimes protesting for equal treatment for people with disabilities for decades.

"It’s real slow work," Campbell, now in his mid-70s, said in an interview on Louisville's waterfront. Much of Campbell's advocacy has been recorded in the documentary If I Can't Do It. As his story notes, he once got out of his chair — to which he is quick to say he is not bound — and laid down in front of a public transit bus in protest. Though his tactics have changed in 2020, Campbell has not tired of the fight.
