75 years leaves behind a lot of memories. 💚

As we celebrate The Arc Michigan's 75th anniversary, we've been taking a look through our archives and finding glimpses of the people, meetings, trainings and moments that helped shape our history.

These photos are just a small snapshot of the many people who have been part of The Arc Michigan's story over the years.

Each photo represents a piece of our history and the generations of people who have shared a commitment to creating a more inclusive Michigan for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Do you recognize someone in these photos or remember one of these moments? Let us know in the comments!

For 75 years, The Arc Michigan has stood alongside people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, advocating for inclusion, opportunity, and belonging.

This Disability Pride Month, we honor the strength, leadership, and contributions of the disability community while recognizing that disability is a natural and valuable part of human diversity.

As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we're proud to reflect on the progress we've made together—and remain committed to creating a Michigan where every person is valued, included, and empowered to live the life they choose.

Here's to 75 years of advocacy—and to the work still ahead.

When people think of disability, they often picture a wheelchair. In reality, many common disabilities, including hearing loss, ADHD, learning disabilities, chronic pain, mental health disabilities, and more may not be immediately visible. Disability is broader and more common than we often think!

This #Disability Pride Month, we celebrate all disabilities — whatever they may look like (or not look like)! #DWord #DisabilityPride#DisabilityPrideMonth by @thearcmichigan

When Medicaid funding is reduced, the consequences ripple through entire communities.

Patients lose coverage, costs shift to families and providers, and hospitals, especially in rural areas, face greater financial strain.

For millions of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Medicaid provides access to the services and supports that make community living, employment, education, and independence possible. Protect Medicaid. Protect lives. 💙 by @thearcmichigan
