Celebrating Disability Pride Month
July is Disability Pride Month, and July 2024 marks the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. To celebrate, Understanding Our Differences, the Newton Commission on Disability, and the Newton Free Library are pleased to host a panel of local speakers with disabilities who will explore the question, "What does disability pride mean to you?" A Q&A and audience discussion will follow the panel.
