Nancy Pelosi Marks Anniversary Of The Americans With Disabilities Act

WASHINGTON – JULY 22: A member of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) security team keeps an eye out as the elevator doors close after a news conference about the 20th anniversary of the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act in the Rayburn House Office Building July 22, 2010 in Washington, DC. Pelosi announced that Langevin, who was paralyzed when accidentally shot 30 years ago, will be the first person with disabilities to preside over the House of Representatives as the Speaker Pro Tem on July 26. The Architect of the Capitol has installed a mechanical lift that will allow Langevin to reach the Speaker’s Rostrum inside the House chamber. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
