• The need to accommodate disabled people in public and older buildings
• The passage of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, prohibiting discrimination against the disabled applying for federal assistance and employment
• The failure to enforce the Rehabilitation Act, which led Judy Heumann to stage a 26-day sit-in at the U.S. Department of Health Education and Welfare in San Francisco
• How the enforcement of the Act affected disabled Vietnam War veterans
• How the Vietnam War not only affected soldiers, but civilian opinion as well
• The lack of support Vietnam War veterans faced when they returned home
• How people began to focus more on healthy living, such as partaking in exercise, yoga, and paying attention to what they ate
• The development of farmers' markets
• Alice Waters, who founded Chez Panisse and pioneered the concept of California cuisine
