Jadon Lau's poem about the Disability Pride Flag
Jadon Lau's poem about the Disability Pride Flag
explores the symbolism behind each color
and what they represent for the community:
• Black background: Our endured suffering
• Blue: Mental, emotional, and invisible disabilities
• White: Hidden and unknown disabilities
• Gold: Neurodiversity and unique perspectives
• Red: Physical and visible disabilities
• Green: Sensory differences
“Disability is not something an individual overcomes.
I'm still disabled. I'm still Deafblind. People with disabilities
are successful when we develop alternative techniques
and our communities choose inclusion.”
― Haben Girma, Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law
