Please join the SJSU iSchool in our first celebration of Disability Pride Month as we honor the achievements of our disabled community members.

Disability Pride Month is observed in July to coincide with the anniversary of the passage of landmark disability rights legislation the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (source: AmeriDisability).

“Disability pride is defined as accepting and honoring each person’s uniqueness, and seeing it as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity. Disability pride is an integral part of an inclusive crusade and, furthermore, a direct challenge to systemic ableism and stigmatizing definitions of disability.” (source: AmeriDisability)

Join us on Wednesday, July 17, 2024 10:00 am -12:00 pm Pacific Time for our free online symposium, “Accessible Programming in Libraries: A Disability-Led Approach”.
