Disability Pride Month: Spotlight on Musicians with Disabilities
Celebrated in July, Disability Pride Month commemorates the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990. The landmark legislation prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in all areas of public life to ensure equal access to employment, education, transportation, telecommunications, public accommodations, and government services. The ADA was passed in an effort to break down barriers that prevent those with disabilities, who comprise the largest minority group in the United States, from participating fully in public life. In honor of Disability Pride Month, we’re highlighting five inspiring musicians, past and present, with disabilities who we think you should know.
