The 2010 Disability Pride Parade is dedicated to the memory of disability activist and founding member
Barb Bechdol (1943-2010)
Writer, warrior and friend, Barb was a founding member of the Disability Pride Parade. She was our conscience and always kept us on target by reminding us of what the parade was all about - pride in who we are with all of our natural and beautiful diversities.
Barb wrote much of what you read on the parade’s web site. Her commitment was exceptional, her enthusiasm was contagious, and her legacy is in knowing you all will continue to live Disabled and Proud.
Barb, this parade is for you.
