Justin Dart, true hero, inspiring leader, mentor, dear friend,
Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, father of the ADA and one of
the brightest lights the 600 million people with disabilities around the
world have ever had, died this morning.I will miss him very much and
thought you would want to know of this huge loss for the disability
community and for the community of freedom fighters everywhere.More
information will undoubtably be available soon. Please join me in
keeping Yoshiko and the whole Dart family in our thoughts and
prayers.Knowing Justin, he wouldn't want us boo hooing over his death.
He would tell us all in no uncertain terms that we need to redouble our
efforts and do whatever it takes in our fight for freedom. I will miss
him, and I will work harder, in his honor and in his memory.Marcie
