Disability Pride Month commemorates the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act in July of 1990 and honors the incredible work of past and present disability rights activists. It is a reminder to celebrate disability culture and community, while continuing to fight for further progress.
Sitting Pretty, Taussig’s engaging memoir/essay collection/call to action, is an excellent introduction to disability advocacy and reframes the disabled experience. We have free copies through the UW’s 2024-2025 Go Big Read program. All are welcome to stop into the library and take a copy home.
