Welcome to disabledandproud.com where we say it loud, we're DISABLED AND PROUD! On this website, you will find information on Disability history, culture, and community. We are also starting a Disability Pride Store/Bookstore with a physical location in Chicago. Check back in regularly for more information on when the store will be up and running. We value the diversity of our community, and believe every person is a beautiful human being with worth.
The term - disability - as it is applied to humans refers to any condition that impedes the completion of daily tasks using traditional methods. National governments and global humanitarian agencies have narrowed this definition for their own purposes, only pledging aid to those with specific disabilities of a certain severity.
The Disability History Project is a community history project and we welcome your participation. This is an opportunity for disabled people to reclaim our history and determine how we want to define ourselves and our struggles. People with disabilities have an exciting and rich history that should be shared with the world.
