Martha Lillard, the last US polio patient using an iron lung, dies at 78
This month is Disability Pride Month and July was chosen because it was when the Americans with Disabilities Act was finally signed into law (1990).
A number of the activists who helped pass ADA were people who'd been disabled by polio in the days before the vaccine was available (Judy Heumann, Ed Roberts, etc)
