I am always grateful to him for his leadership, working from the White House with us. One other person who was with us every step of the way and continues to provide so much leadership in the area of disability rights is then- Attorney General Dick Thornburgh. What a champion he was and is. I should not put it in the past tense. Dick Thornburgh remains today one of the preeminent people in America who keeps focus on what we are doing in society to make sure that people with disabilities have full access and opportunity. Then there is the disability rights community. This would not have happened without the tireless, courageous, and unstoppable work of so many activists in the disability community.
