Southwest DC Honors Justin Dart, Jr. and the American Disabilities Act

Justin Dart Jr. moved to Southwest Washington to work for the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As an energetic neighbor rushing through the lobby in his wheelchair, his Southwest DC neighbors fondly remember Justin. Never without his cowboy hat and boots from his home state of Texas, or his wife Yoshiko form Japan, Justin accomplished wonders for Americans with disabilities for the passage and implementation of the ADA, right up to the time of his death in 2002. His friends and family continue to work for the rights of people with disabilities. Justin Dart, Jr. lived in Waterside Towers at 907 6th Street, SW for many years.

Richard Bryant Treanor, Southwest artist, author, lawyer and disability advocate, produced the painting of Justin Dart, Jr.

Konoka Izumi and Asuka Sato worked with Yoshiko Dart in creating the collage celebrating the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

William Marshall, Niles White, and Joseph Xavier, Southwest friends and neighbors, painted the basic call box.

Gelberg Signs fabricated and installed the artwork in the Call Box and the ADA Plaques on the short base.
