Thirty-six years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law, guaranteeing civil rights for millions of Americans. But the movement that made that day possible began years earlier. One pivotal victory was won by a small, often-forgotten group of activists in Denver known as the "Gang of 19."

On The Sunday Story, NPR's Joseph Shapiro and Colorado Public Radio's Stephanie Wolf trace the history of the disability rights movement—from the protests that secured accessible public transit to the modern-day fight to protect the hard-won right to live independently.

This episode was produced by Ben Rappaport with support from Andrew Mambo. It was edited by Jenny Schmidt. It was engineered by Annlie Huang.
