July is Disability Pride Month
Posted in: Homepage Features
Disability Pride Month is observed every July. It began as a single day of celebration in 1990, the year the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted. That same year, Boston, Massachusetts hosted the inaugural Disability Pride Day. The first official Disability Pride Month took place in July 2015, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the ADA. Since then, cities nationwide have marked Disability Pride Month with parades and various festivities.
