The Big Read of the ADA | Saturday, July 25, 9 am – 1 pm
Boyd Plaza, 1515 Main Street, Columbia, SC, during Soda City Market!
We all know the ADA broke barriers, but how many of us have actually read the bill? That’s what we will do! Join us during the ever-popular Saturday morning Soda City, where over 4 hours, 36 volunteers will read every word of the law. The public reading is meant to move beyond mere remembrance and call attention to the ongoing need for public awareness and advocacy.
Special guests from the disability community and more are expected to join! Details coming soon.
