Deaf History Month

Deaf History Month is an annual observance that celebrates the rich culture, contributions, and history of Deaf communities. Held in March in the United States and Canada, it highlights milestones such as the development of sign language, key figures, and movements that have advanced Deaf rights and identity. The month aims to raise awareness, foster pride, and promote understanding of Deaf culture as a unique linguistic and cultural community distinct from hearing society. It encourages education and recognition of Deaf people's experiences, achievements, and ongoing efforts for inclusion and equality.
