Episode Description

At Comerica Park, deaf and hard-of-hearing volunteers say they were excluded from a concessions program after a confusing interaction with a “secret shopper.” Now their lawsuit, led by the Sugar Law Center, is testing what equal communication means under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Co-host Robyn Vincent speaks with attorney Liz Jacob about access and accountability.
