Disability Pride
We all have an obligation as human beings in an unequal world to recognize and value lives unlike our own. Reading diverse books widens our perspective of the world, hopefully encourages us to progress in our everyday lives with greater empathy and esteem for the expansive array of existence we participate in.
One in four adults in the United States lives with a disability. By reading about disabilities – both visible and invisible – we can promote inclusive and accessible spaces, raise awareness of disability rights issues, and honor those in the disability community who are making the world a better place. You can do this at any time of year, but July is a good time to start. Since 2015, July has been celebrated as Disability Pride Month to honor the anniversary of the signing of The Americans with Disabilities Act.
The books in the lists below are recommended to read and discuss in Employee Resource Groups, book clubs, classrooms, and events.

There aren’t enough days, much less months, in a year to celebrate and acknowledge the many important communities, cultures, and topics in our diverse world. Because of that, a series that is dedicated to only one or two booklists per month will often have to disregard several important topics. And although change is slow in the publishing world when it comes to diversity, we can see a lot of hope in the books that are published with diverse stories in mind.
