NYC hosts its first disability pride parade

New York City is hosting its first parade honoring people with disabilities.

 

Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke Sunday to kick off the inaugural NYC Disability Pride Parade. He said he was proud of the city being a national leader in supporting rights for disabled people.

 

The parade route started at Manhattan's Madison Square Park and went along Broadway to Union Square Park.

 

July is designated as "Disability Pride Month" in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act that aims to guarantee equal opportunities and rights for people with disabilities.
