Reflecting on the Passing of Senator Robert Dole

December 6, 2021 by HVS HVS

  • A A A
Senator Dole with students

 

Dear friends,

Yesterday, Senator Robert Dole, a genuine, honorable Statesman who dedicated his entire life to serving our great nation and advocating for all people with disabilities passed away at the age of 98. Senator Dole was a giant, in an era where leaders could vehemently disagree about which set of public policies were best for the nation, yet still agree about the need to expand opportunities for all Americans. While our whole country mourns his loss, let us take a moment to remember and recognize the leadership role he took in the drafting and passage of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Without his true commitment to bipartisanship, the ADA would not have been possible. This piece of legislation has become the gold standard for the international community as countries formulate their own legal principles to uphold the civil rights of people with disabilities.
