ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
This statement was last updated on October 1, 2023.
We at Merced Black American Arts and Cultural District are working to make our site www.baacdmerced.org accessible to people with disabilities.
What web accessibility is
An accessible site allows all community members, regardless of disability, to engage with our cultural resources and programs with ease and enjoyment. Our commitment includes optimizing the site for various assistive technologies.
Accessibility adjustments on this site
We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG 2.1 guidelines, and have made the site accessible to the level of AA. The site's contents have been tailored to work with assistive technologies such as screen readers and keyboard navigation. As part of this effort, we have also:
Utilized tools to identify and rectify accessibility issues
Set the primary language of the site
Organized the content order of the site’s pages
Defined clear heading structures on all site pages
Provided alternative text for images
Ensured color combinations meet contrast requirements
Minimized motion effects on the site
Made all videos, audio, and documents accessible
We declare partial compliance with the accessibility standard due to third-party content.
The accessibility of certain pages on the site depends on content not owned by us, but by external partners. The affected pages include our event gallery and external resource links. We therefore declare partial compliance with accessibility standards for these pages.
Accessibility arrangements in the organization
We have made our physical locations accessible, including designated parking spots, ramps for wheelchair access, and accessible restrooms. We also provide assistance at our service desk for those who need additional support.
Requests, issues, and suggestions
