A CBS News investigation revealed two year's worth of complaints to the U.S. Justice Department's Disability Rights section about missing or incorrect braille found at numerous public facilities throughout the U.S. The report is but another reminder about how the needs of blind Americans still aren't being prioritized as much as they should be. An eyebrow-raising example from CBS' article is the National Park Service (quoted above) stating that the oversized braille on the FDR Memorial in Washington D.C. was more of a stylistic choice in the artist's design. Yikes. 

“There's federal laws including the American Disabilities Act that was passed 30 years ago, there's the Architectural Barriers Act,” CBS News Reporter Steve Dorsey said in a radio interview on WCBS 880. “It's all about compliance and it's all about ensuring that the folks who manage buildings — even old buildings — respect the needs of our fellow Americans, hundreds of thousands of Americans, who do read braille.”
