July is Disability Pride Month, a time to celebrate progress in championing accessibility and equity. People with disabilities deserve to live full, self-determined lives, just like everyone else. Yet discrimination persists. Disability Pride Month happens every July to mark the ADA’s anniversary, which was passed on July 26, 1990. The first celebration was a Disability Pride Day that took place in Boston in 1990. Chicago hosted the first Disability Pride Parade in 2004. Now there are events nationwide. Help foster inclusion for future generations of people with disabilities with an inspiring disabled speaker from Speakers.com today.
