July 4th is not the only "independence day" celebration this month. July 26, 1990 is seen by many people with disabilities as their independence day. That's when President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law. Since then, Minnesotans have celebrated the ADA's passage and, since 2015, Disability Pride Month every July. While the ADA and its promise are important, so too is the promotion of community pride and pride in who we are as disabled people.
