In 1957, well-known actor Billy Barty made a national public appeal for all little people in America to join him for at the first Midgets of America convention in 1957 in Reno, Nevada. Mr. Barty and 20 other little people joined him.

Today the group calls itself Little People of America (LPA), a national non-profit organization that offers information on employment, education, disability rights, adoption, medical issues, clothing, adaptive products, and the many stages of parenting a short-statured child - from birth to adult.
