About the Disability Pride Flag
The Disability Pride Flag was created by Ann Magill, a disabled woman. Here is a breakdown of its elements:
The Black Field: A color of mourning; for those who have suffered from Ableist violence, and also rebellion and protest.
The Zigzag/Lightning Bolt: How disabled people must navigate barriers, and the creativity in doing so; breaking free from normative authority and body control
The Five Colors: The variety of needs and experiences (Mental Illness, Intellectual and Developmental Disability, Invisible and Undiagnosed Disabilities, Physical Disability, and Sensory Disabilities)
The Parallel Stripes: Solidarity within the Disability Community and all its differences.
