Haben Girma Introduces President at ADA Reception

A video of Skadden fellow Haben Girma introducing the president at a reception to mark the 25th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act was featured on C-Span ("Presidential Remarks on the 25th Anniversary of the Americans With Disability Act," July 20). Haben, who is deaf-blind, said her ability to graduate from Harvard Law School seemed like magic to her grandmother in Africa. "For all of us here, we know that people with disabilities succeed not by magic but through opportunities in America and the hard-won power of the ADA," Haben said.
