Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 1996 Paralympic Games in Atlanta, USA were the first Paralympics to get mass media sponsorship. They were held from 16 August to 25 August.The mascot for the Paralympic Summer Games in Atlanta 1996 was Blaze. Blaze is a phoenix, a mythical bird that rises from ashes to experience a renewed life. The phoenix appears in Egyptian, Arabian, Chinese, Russian and native American folklore and in all instances symbolizes strength, vision, inspiration and survival. The phoenix was an ideal mascot for the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games and later for BlazeSports America, a nonprofit organization that is the direct legacy of the Games. The phoenix has long been the symbol of Atlanta’s rebirth after its devastation in the American Civil War. But most importantly, it is the personification of the will, perseverance and determination of youth and adults with physical disability to achieve full and productive lives.
