H. Res. 1355 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
July 23, 2008. 
Whereas all people, including those with disabilities, should 
be guaranteed the right to receive a quality education, to 
be productive members of our workforce, to raise fami-
lies, to exert control and choice over their own lives, and 
to have equal opportunity to access and participate in all 
facets of life; 
Whereas having a disability should be seen as a natural part 
of human diversity; 
Whereas many people with disabilities share a cultural experi-
ence and history; 
Whereas 18 years ago, on July 26, 1990, the Americans with 
Disabilities Act was signed into law, ending discrimina-
tion against and providing equal opportunity for persons 
with disabilities in employment, education, government 
services, public accommodations, commercial facilities, 
and transportation; 
Whereas in spite of the recent efforts to restore the intent 
of the Americans with Disabilities Act, people with dis-
abilities continue to face tremendous challenges in our so-
ciety that test their resolve sociologically, emotionally, 
and psychologically, as well as face negative cultural as-
sumptions based on fears and myths that need to be

eliminated and replaced with presumptions of com-
petence, strength, and individual worth; 
Whereas July 26, 2008, is the City of Chicago’s 5th Annual 
Disability Pride Parade, a celebration that will seek to 
educate and change the way that people think about and 
define those with disabilities by promoting the belief that 
disability is a natural and beautiful part of human diver-
sity in which people living with disabilities can take pride; 
and 
Whereas July 26, 2008, would be an appropriate day to des-
ignate as Disability Pride Day: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of Disability Pride 
Day; 
(2) acknowledges the efforts of the City of Chi-
cago’s 5th Annual Disability Pride Parade organizers to 
raise awareness concerning the value of people with dis-
abilities; 
(3) invites the Nation to join in celebrating the 
pride, the power, and the potential of people with disabil-
ities by celebrating Disability Pride Day; and 
(4) urges public officials and the general public to 
honor Americans with disabilities by educating them-
selves on ways to support and encourage understanding
