Flag of Disability Pride Mouse Pad

This design features the Disability Pride flag, which represents the Disability Pride Movement. The first Disability Pride Parade in the United States was held in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1990. Since then, disability pride parades have spread throughout the country. Parades have also occurred in Norway, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Germany and other countries throughout the world. The movement has the following goals: to change the way people think and define "disability"; to break and end internalized shame among people with disabilities; and to promote the idea in society that disability is a natural and fundamental part of human diversity that people living with disabilities can be proud of.
