“Ugly Laws” once made it illegal for disabled and poor people to appear in public.
This powerful short video uncovers one of America’s darkest and least-known chapters in disability history — and how it shaped the rights we fight for today.
From 17th-century Massachusetts to 20th-century Chicago, people were criminalized simply for looking “unsightly.” The last Ugly Law wasn’t repealed until the 1970s — and echoes of these laws still exist in today’s anti-homeless policies.
In this video, you’ll learn:
• What the “Ugly Laws” were — and how they worked
• How disabled and poor people were punished for being seen
• The link between these laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
• Why disability justice and public visibility still matter today
Disability rights are civil rights — and understanding this history helps prevent it from repeating.
If you believe inclusion belongs in public spaces, share this story and help more people learn the truth about how far we’ve come — and how far we still have to go.
