Disability Pride Month celebrates the experiences and contributions of people with disabilities
“I think disability pride is just recognizing that you are the way you are, and there’s no wrong way to be a person – especially not the way you were born in this world.”
Alabama Care anchors McCartney Hagar and Sarah Williams discuss their personal journeys as individuals with disabilities, the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the importance of community.
