Civil Rights

A Justice Department official told a House Judiciary panel Thursday that the Civil Rights Division will continue to push for accessibility on the internet
for Americans with disabilities.

Samuel R. Bagenstos, the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, said that division has worked to ensure that websites for state and
local governments and public accommodations comply with the American with Disabilities Act and are accessible by assistive technologies, such as text readers
or Braille displays, which convert text to Braille for blind web users.
