Our goal is to acknowledge each person's disabilities, while highlighting and increasing their abilities. Because of this, we invite you to learn more about the history of the Disability Pride Flag.

“The original Disability Pride flag was created in 2019 by writer Ann Magill, who has cerebral palsy. Flags can raise awareness and are a symbol of solidarity, pride and acceptance, and the Disability Pride flage has is no exception. Magill had attended an event for the 20th anniversary of the ADA and was disappointed that it was confined to the basement and grounds of an independent living center — instead of out in public. The experience motivated her to create a Disability Pride Flag.

The flag is considered a collaborative design effort, with Magill saying the new design truly represents the represents the community because the community came together to solve a problem. Magill has waived her copyright and entered this flag into the public domain, so that everyone is free to use and remix it.”

The faded black background mourning and rage for victims of ableist violence and abuse. The diagonal Bband cuts across the walls and barriers that separate the disabled from normate society, also representing light and creativity cutting through the darkness.

Disability pride is about accepting and honoring each person’s uniqueness and seeing it as a beautiful part of human diversity. Because disability has often been viewed as a weakness or something to be ashamed of, we here at Zuriel LLC celebrate disabilities as a natural part of human diversity and challenge negative stereotypes. We strive to dismantle stereotypes, celebrate diversity, and create a world where everyone, regardless of ability, can thrive.
