<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I’ll take all night if I have to!” said 8-year-old Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins. The second-grader wasn’t talking about working on a lengthy homework assignment or completing another video game level. No, she
was telling the crowd of reporters that she would not give up as she climbed to the top of the Capitol steps in what became known as the <a href="https://boundarystones.weta.org/2021/09/16/capitol-crawl" target="_blank">Capital Crawl</a> to demand passage
of the ADA. Congress and the country listened to a student that day. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">The Ethel Louise Armstrong Student Poster Competition and reception is held annually to encourage students to network with the community, professionals, and scholars who share their interests in disability.
This opportunity is made possible through the generosity of the ELA Foundation and its founder, Margaret Stanton. The event honors Margaret’s grandmother, Ethel Louise Armstrong, who encouraged Margaret to reject stereotypes, embrace self-determination, and
excel in college despite the barriers of a pre-504/ADA world faced by disabled women. Margaret founded the ELA Foundation to "change the face of disability on the planet". The student posters highlight ongoing change and future challenges. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Manager and lead Digital Accessibility Coordinator. She believed that the arts are not a luxury, but a necessity and a universal human right. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
