The original Disability Pride flag was created by Ann Magill, who has cerebral palsy. It was developed to raise awareness and as a symbol of solidarity, acceptance and pride. In 2021 Magill collaborated with others to update the flag to be more accessible. Each color stripe represents a different group within the disability community:

The diagonal stripes are set on a faded black background to symbolize mourning for those who have experienced neglect, violence, and death due to the disability. This flag also represents individuals cutting through darkness and barriers that separate them from society.

ASL Interpreters, CART, Assistive Listening Devices, and Audio Description will be provided. If you have a different reasonable accommodation request, please contact ADA@raleighnc.gov by July 7. Every effort will be made to fulfill requests received after this date. To learn more about accessibility at the Raleigh Convention Center, please visit Accessibility | Raleigh Convention Center
