Video description:

When the music begins, "Happy Disability Pride Month" appears on the
screen, one word at a time, each in a different color on a black background.

Next frame: The video is in a dark blue frame; a male ASL interpreter is in
a box on the upper left, under that is a box that has the DHS logo which is
a gold toned shadow of the outline of the state the initials N.J. and the
words "Human Services".

"Disability Pride Month 2021" are in large white letters across the bottom
of the screen.

(The video is captioned with the words going across the lower part of the
screen)

Dr. Davis is seated, she is smiling and wearing a blouse that has a beige,
grey and peach colored design.  Her name and title are in the upper right
corner of the screen.

When she says, "There are few things more powerful.." A young adult who
appears to be a White male wearing jeans, work boots and a black button
down shirt is walking up the outside stairs of a building, using a red
tipped white cane.

When she says, "just being ourselves.." CBVI O&M Instructor, Michael Even
is providing instruction to a consumer in the first floor corridor of the
JKTC near the wall sculpture.

When she says, "so today we celebrate..." The hands of a brown skinned
person with hairy arms are shown reading a Braille book.

When she says, "their achievements and their many, many contributions," TVI
Terry Cerutti is providing Braille instruction to a child who appears to be
an approximately 6 years old male.

The next voice you hear is CRO Rehabilitation Teacher Sumara Garner; she is
standing outside under a tree and there are flowering blue and pink
hydrangea bushes to her left. She is wearing yellow sandals, black slacks
and a yellow sleeveless blouse with black designs; she is holding her white
cane in her right hand.

Murphy and the varied disabilities community:
