The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission is sponsoring a one-day event for Disability Pride Month. The conference will begin with a plenary session about disability rights under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act. Then there will be concurrent sessions; one on bullying and harassment of youth with disabilities and one on the impact of war on people with disabilities. Then there will be lunch and a keynote address by Imani Barbarin, an American writer, and disability rights activist. The afternoon will have concurrent sessions: one on the criminal justice system and people with disabilities and another about mediation as a tool to resolve conflicts about disability accommodation requests.
