Jimmy Carter, Proclamation 4566 (1978)
“ If all Americans are to have true access, we must remove the architectural barriers in our society that block some of our people from full participation and self-reliance. We must also remove the barriers of attitude and custom that have prevented many people from doing what they can. ”
Jimmy Carter, Proclamation 4566 (1978)
“ Many of the barriers that block people from opportunity and fulfillment are not subject to Federal regulation. Their elimination will require awareness and concern on the part of business and industry, state and local governments and organizations of all sorts, as well as individuals, in order that our society may provide access for full participation to all our people. ”
Jimmy Carter, Proclamation 4566 (1978)
“ Now, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the third week of May, 1978 as National Architectural Barrier Awareness Week and ask all Americans to do all that lies within their power to remove these unnecessary barriers and to eliminate any lingering social and psychological stigma surrounding disabilities. Together we can make access a reality for all Americans. ”
