Energizing public debates made Washington Square Park famous as the most celebrated outdoor free-speech center in the nation. Stop by after the parade program to hear Mike Ervin, disability activist, playwright and humorist speak.
A sample of the impact our efforts have had. The group from Norway returned home and put on their OWN parade! It was a big success. Here is the video they put on UTube. The first few minutes capture the parade, the rest is their celebration, not subtitled or translated.
Norway's Own Disability Pride Parade!
