ADA 30th Anniversary Celebration
ADA 30th Anniversary Celebration
On July 26, 2020, members of ADAPT of Texas braved COVID and pouring rain, by coming to Austin City Hall to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the passage of the ADA.
Jeff Moyer sang the ADA Anthem, which he wrote and played at the Senate the evening of the day of the signing. Jeff recalls, “So the Senators who had had a hand in the ADA lined up, you know the bunch. They all said something. Then Pat Wright and Michael Winter argued in front of everybody. They were in their street Berkeley attire. I was in a light gray suit, white shirt, tie. Anyway, I don’t think they introduced me. No, they did not. So I step to the microphone and give my name and the name of the song.”
Near the end of this tribute, Jeff sings another song he authored, The Power to Prevail. That song is played against the backdrop of a collection of pictures taken by world famous photography historian, Tom Olin.
