July 26th marks the 32nd Anniversary of the passage of the American's with Disabilities Act. Signed by President George H. W. Bush in 1990, the ADA is perhaps the most sweeping civil rights legislation since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
To celebrate Disability:IN North Carolina is hosting Everybody Works in North Carolina "From Murphy to Manteo" from 11am to noon EDT.
A virtual event, Everybody Works in North Carolina "From Murphy to Manteo" illustrates the diverse forms of disability employment and inclusion through a combination of exciting vignettes and artistic performances by North Carolinians with disabilities.
For those who are unfamiliar with North Carolina geography; Murphy is the Western-most community located in the mountains of North Carolina while Manteo is the Eastern-most community on the coast.
Everybody Works in North Carolina "From Murphy to Manteo" will be a virtual event, highlighting the vibrant range of disability inclusion throughout North Carolina’s business community. There is no charge to attend the celebration, however registration is required.
