Justin Dart, Jr. advocated for human rights for over four decades. He served five Presidential appointments in the area of disability policy.

During the last 16 years, Justin  played a leading role in the development of and advocacy for national disability, civil rights, and health care policy, particularly the Americans with Disabilities Act.

He had recently resigned as Chairman of the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities in order to advocate full-time for the civil rights and empowerment of people with disabilities in every nation.

Read below or view the video of Justin Dart's moving words about empowerment. Justin Dart -

"People with disabilities are the poorest of the poor, the oppressed of the oppressed. This does not have to be. Today science and free enterprise democracy give us the potential to enable every person to live the human dream.

Will we do it? Or will we like great cultures past, relax in the status quo and go down the road to the land of what might have been? Our present systems of society and government, magnificent as they are, have reached their useful limits. We need a clarified vision. Colleagues we have that vision -- a revolution of empowerment!"
