Joni Eareckson Tada Shares Her Heart on the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Law of Love Needed for True Transformation

On a breezy July day in 1990, Joni Eareckson Tada joined fellow advocates from the National Council on Disability to witness a historic moment: President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA). For Joni, this was more than legislation—it was the culmination of tireless work that could open doors for millions of Americans with disabilities. Listen as Joni reflects on the power of the law compared to the power of the Gospel: while the law can change discriminatory structures, the Gospel is the only thing that can change hearts, bringing about culture change that provides true belonging for people living with disability.
