On June 22, 1999, The Supreme Court of the United States handed down its decision on the landmark case involving the institutionalization of people with mental and physical disabilities. This is the story of that case and the three women (the plaintiffs, Lois Curtis and Elaine Wilson, and their attorney, Sue Jamieson) whose courage and determination resulted in the legislation that is helping people across the nation to understand that institutionalization is harmful and unnecessary, and that people with physical and mental disabilities can live in the community with the proper supports.
