Lois Curtis is a Black womam with an intellectual disability who was the force behind the Olmstead Decision. she sued the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Human Resources, Tommy Olmstead and the courts ruled in her favor that people with mental disabilites have a right to live in their communities instead of institutions, and have the right to live in the least restrictive setting possible
