Franklin D. Roosevelt was disabled himself. He lost the ability to walk because of polio. However the press was respectful and did not take pictures of his wheel chair.

Roosevelt's focus on protecting the disabled stemmed from his personal experience with polio, which left him partially paralyzed. He understood firsthand the challenges and discrimination faced by disabled individuals. He believed in the inherent worth and potential of all people, regardless of disability, and saw it as a moral duty to ensure their rights and opportunities for participation in society.
