PCB is happy to see the National Constitution Center expanding tactile offerings for blind & low vision visitors.
However, the current schedule is limited.
PCB encourages the Center to build on this progress.
We would welcome the chance to help think through what broader access could look like.
This is a good start. Let’s keep moving forward.
Accessibility is a right, not a luxury.
