Original Note:
DEI is not literally the reason the Capital Building is accessible to TX Governor Greg Abbott. Wheelchair accessibility began in the 1920's with FDR, continued to 1950 National Barrier-Free Standards, Rehabilitation Act of 1973, & 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. https://www.accessibility.com/resources/timeline-of-disability-rights https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/fdr-wheelchairs-and-diplomacy.htm https://www.aoc.gov/explore-capitol-campus/blog/capitol-reflections-ada-and-historic-buildings
