All Things CPNRI

A young disability rights activist crawls up the marble steps of the U.S. Capitol during the 1990 Capitol Crawl protest, while photographers and supporters watch nearby. The child wears a red headband and blue shirt, pulling herself upward with her hands as part of the demonstration calling for passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
