5th Annual Disability Pride Parade |
Pride
|
|---|
The activities of the 2008 parade were as fun and exciting as ever. The now traditional OpenMic/Poetry Slam demonstrated the talent and in some cases courage of people of our community. Our Parade Marshal, Tony Coelho, joined us and encouraged us with his words. We listened and watched many beautiful poems, stories. This year WBEZ Radio captured part of the the Slam on tape and published it on their web site.
Here's a chance to share your thoughts and feelings about disability through poetry, prose, dramatic presentation, music, dance, etc.
Join us the night before the big celebration. For more information and to reserve your performance spot, contact Earl Smith at quakerpastor@yahoo.com or Jose Ocampo at josethepoet@gmail.com
