Honoring a Disability Rights Pioneer - The Connecticut Avenue Bridge over Klingle Valley in Washington, D.C. is proposed to be renamed the “Judith E. Heumann Memorial Bridge” in honor of the legendary disability rights activist who passed away in 2023.
Often called the “mother of the disability rights movement,” Judith Heumann was a lifelong advocate for equality, accessibility, and civil rights for people with disabilities. As a wheelchair user, she frequently traveled this very route—making the bridge a meaningful symbol of her legacy and the paths she helped open for millions.
Renaming the bridge would recognize her extraordinary leadership in advancing disability rights, including her role in the historic 504 Sit-In and her decades of advocacy for inclusion, accessibility, and opportunity.
Let’s continue to build a world that reflects the vision Judith fought for—where accessibility and equality are bridges for everyone.
