On March 12, 1990, over 1,000 people marched from the White House to the U.S. Capitol to demand that Congress pass the Americans with Disabilities Act. Upon arrival, about 60 activists physically demonstrated the inaccessibility of public spaces by getting out of their wheelchairs or setting aside their mobility aids and crawling up the Capitol steps in an act of civil disobedience that later became known as the Capitol Crawl. 104 activists were arrested for unlawful demonstration, many of whom were in their wheelchairs. On July 26, 1990 President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law. Each July is celebrated as Disability Pride Month in commemoration of the historic moment.

For much of history, having a disability has been viewed negatively, causing people to hide their identities from the world. Disability Pride Month celebrates the diversity and talents of those that identify as disabled. The Disability Alliance BRG is celebrating Disability Pride Month by highlighting our Grant Thornton colleagues who are sharing their disability story.
