Robert David Hall Celebrates 15 Yrs for ADA

June 20, 2008 by Lynn  

Fifteen years ago before July 26, 2005, America passed the Americans with Disabilities Act. It was a huge victory for differently-abled people who had previously been excluded from many public places because of their limitations in mobility.

On the fifteenth anniversary of the passing of the act, Robert David Hall along with fellow CSI stars William Petersen, Marg Helgenberger & Jorja Fox and the Screen Actors’ Guild celebrated. As you may know, Robert David Hall was seriously injured when an 18-wheeler ran into his car. He had to have both legs amputated and received burns over most of his body. He now works to raise awareness for people with disabilities and his character, Dr. Albert Robbins M.D., on CSI: Vegas is openly disabled.

My hat’s off to him for helping raise awareness and serving as such a wonderful role model to others.
