  <Title>Celebrating Disability Pride in July '24 at UMBC and Beyond</Title>
  <Tagline>On Belonging, Ending Stigma and Being Authentically Known</Tagline>

    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><a href="https://www.thevaluable500.com/spotlight/disability-pride-month" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Disability Pride Month</a> is celebrated in July each year - and in 2013, Chicago's Disability Pride Parade explained their mission as:<div><div><div><br></div><div>"To
     change the way people think about and define 'disability,' to break 
    down and end the internalized shame among people with disabilities, and 
    to promote the belief in society that disability is a natural and 
    beautiful part of human diversity in which people living with disability
     can take pride." <div><br></div><div>The
     Disability Pride movement is long-standing, and became more evident as a
     day of celebration in 1990 - the same year that the Americans with 
    Disabilities Act (ADA) became law.   Boston celebrated its first 
    Disability Pride Day that year, however many are also familiar with the 
    earlier 504 disability civil rights movements of the 1970s which is 
    chronicled in<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crip_Camp" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> the movie Crip Camp</a>, (<a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/81001496" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Crip Camp Netflix link</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFS8SpwioZ4" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Crip Camp YouTube link</a>, which highlights the advocacy efforts of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Heumann" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Judy Heumann</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_LeBrecht" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">James LeBrecht</a>, among others).  <a href="https://newmobility.com/the-capitol-crawl/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">The Capitol Crawl in March of 1990 created momentum for the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act</a> later
     that year. This July marks the 34th anniversary of the ADA, and many 
    cities across the country celebrate disability pride with parades and 
    festivals.  Let's work together to support access and inclusion so more
