Happy Disability Pride Month!🥳🖤❤️💛🤍💙💚🖤

Did you know there’s a Disability Pride Flag? The first version was created and shared by a disabled woman named Ann Magill in 2019, but then redesigned last year in collaboration with other disability community members to be more visually accessible. Here is the symbolism as explained by Ann Magill herself:

The Black Field: Mourning and rage for victims of ableist violence and abuse

The Diagonal Band: "Cutting across" the walls and barriers that separate the disabled from normate society, also light and creativity cutting through the darkness

The White Stripe: Invisible and Undiagnosed Disabilities

The Red Stripe: Physical Disabilities

The Gold Stripe: Neurodivergence

The Blue Stripe: Psychiatric Disabilities

The Green Stripe: Sensory Disabilities

The woman, the myth, the legend -- Judy Heumann! If you don't know the name, it's time to get familiar with it!

Judy Heumann is one of the most important figures in the history (and present day efforts for) disability rights and justice, and she'll be sharing her wisdom with us during a virtual CPS EVENT on Monday!

In the meantime, check out the award-winning Netflix documentary "Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution", her books "Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist" (available in library and bookstore) and "Rolling Warrior", and her podcast, "The Heumann Perspective".

CPS Event!
This conversation connects four alumni who all experienced international service after their time at Eckerd College. The conversation will focus on exploring the Peace Corps and USAID experiences in order to allow students to understand how they can look to go abroad after Eckerd.
