Keller: Advocate & Writer.

Keller,"will explore Keller's work as a political and social advocate.
In addition to her life's work as a champion of the deaf and blind
community, Keller voiced her strong views on many important issues of
the early twentieth century. Thompson will share some of Keller's
writing and her own discoveries about Keller's beliefs and political
passions in this presentation.

program will stream live on our Facebook page and YouTube channel. A
recording of the presentation will be available on YouTube for viewing
any time after the presentation.

And a reminder, Mrs. Keller is an honored Alabamian who was also a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union!
A statue of her is soon going to be placed on the Alabama Capitol property, along with one of Rosa Parks.
