Alabama's Helen Keller in a 1930 "Newsreel" film with Anne Sullivan, with Anne explaining how
Helen learned to talk without being able to see or hear.
There is actually a Helen Keller tribute page on YouTube here.
Alabama has her image on a quarter...and a statue of he stands r in the Alabama spot in Statuary Hall...despite her heritage as a socialist an founder of the hated ACLU.
Take my advice: breathe every day.

Something's wrong with the "comments" button but about HK--
ReplyDeleteIn the Washington National Cathedral (where she is interred), a stone bust of her is placed on a column. The bust is 13 feet above floor level.
This made it impossible for deaf-blind persons to have any contact with this stonework. In the 1970s I raised enough money to have a plaster cast made, which was used to reproduce the bust. For many years the reproduction has been available for blind and deaf-blind persons to experience.
In 2004 this reproduction was loaned to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute for its "History Through Deaf Eyes" touring exhibition sponsored by Gallaudet University. This was the first time the reproduction had traveled outside DC.
Another reproduction was made, and in the summer of 2005 the Alabama Association of the Deaf presented it to the Helen Keller Home in Hazel Green, AL.
