As a key player in the history of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Gallaudet’s campus was a natural choice for previewing a new documentary about the story behind the law. A screening of “Change, Not Charity: the Americans with Disabilities Act,” produced by the PBS series “American Experience,” was hosted by the Schuchman Deaf Documentary Center (SDDC) and the Center for Democracy in Deaf America (CDDA) on March 12. The event included a Q&A with writer/producer Chana Gazit, American Experience executive producer Cameo George, and director Jim LeBrect.
