PHILADELPHIA, July 26 (UPI) -- Honoring the 26th anniversary of the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, the bill's Senate sponsor, Tom Harkin, led delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday in a poignant moment of sign language.
Harkin, a retired senator from Iowa who helped push the ADA to passage, asked delegates to put their hands in front of them with fingers entwined, then circle them in front of their chest.
