US EditionCelebrate Disability Pride Month with archival finds highlighting activisim and progress
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, MAINE, JUL 14 – Disability Pride Month commemorates the Americans with Disabilities Act's impact and ongoing activism that improved access to transportation, communication, and public spaces.
- Disability Pride Month is observed each July to honor the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990.
- The ADA followed decades of activism, building on earlier laws like Section 504 of 1973 that codified equal rights and protections.
- Efforts such as accessible hiking trails created in 2010 and the requirement for closed captions since 1996 illustrate ongoing progress for inclusion.
- Daniele Lul emphasized that behavioural barriers like ableist attitudes still limit true inclusion, noting, disability identities are powerful and complex.
- Advocates forecast a brighter future as access expands, but they stress more work is needed to make spaces fully inclusive beyond physical access.
