"Education for All: The 1965 ESEA and Its Impact on Disability Rights"
About this episode
In September, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) into law. This landmark legislation provided federal funding to schools serving low-income students and laid the foundation for later reforms that extended educational rights to students with disabilities.
In this second episode of our new series, This Week in Disability History, we explore how the ESEA opened doors for inclusive education and set the stage for laws like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Each week, we highlight a pivotal moment that shaped disability rights. Subscribe now so you don’t miss a single story. Walk and Roll Live
