Here’s a fun bit of Deaf history to celebrate Deaf Awareness Month! 🤟💙🩵💛
Did you know the Deaf People’s Flag is a relatively new symbol of global Deaf pride? 🌎 Designed by Deaf French artist Arnaud Balard, it was officially launched by the World Federation of the Deaf in 2023.
The flag’s turquoise, yellow, and dark blue colors celebrate Deaf people, sign languages, Deaf communities, and the shared identity and values that connect Deaf people around the world. Even the design has meaning, with its bold lines extending outward to represent a vibrant global community without borders.
A little Deaf history, a lot of Deaf pride! 💙🤟 Happy Deaf Awareness Month from DHCC!
