roosevelt was a great president. not a great handicapped president. david burrington nbc news, san francisco. >> that was 1984, the democratic national convention. you know by the year after that, by 1985 that protest movement that started in denver, colorado would pay off in denver, colorado with denver becoming the first major city in the country to make its public transit system accessible to people in wheelchairs. that was 1985. by the end of that decade, those hard won gains wouldn't just be in places like denver. they would be nationwide. in 1990 george h.w. bush signed the americans with disabilities act. new england many things the americans with disabilities act did, it did establish nationwide that public transit, buses need to have wheelchair lifts. they need to be accessible to people with disabilities. that movement that they started in denver, 1978, 1990 it paid off nationwide. and you know what? two years after that in 1992, the city of denver, which had been so freakin' annoyed with the wheelchair activists, the city of denver which was read
