Who was Helen Keller
Helen Keller was an American educator, advocate for the blind and deaf and co-founder of the ACLU. Stricken by an illness at the age of 2, Keller was left blind and deaf. Beginning in 1887, Keller’s teacher, Anne Sullivan, helped her make tremendous progress with her ability to communicate, and Keller went on to college, graduating in 1904. During her lifetime, she received many honors in recognition of her accomplishments.
Who was Miss Sullivan
On March 3, 1887, Sullivan went to Keller’s home in Alabama and immediately went to work. She began by teaching six-year-old Keller finger spelling, starting with the word “doll,” to help Keller understand the gift of a doll she had brought along. Keller worked with her teacher Anne Sullivan for 49 years, from 1887 until Sullivan’s death in 1936.

What is this
Braille and the Man Who Invented it
Braille is a simplified version of alphabet made up of six raised dots to form each individual letter, which can be read either with the fingers, by the vision-impaired, or with the eyes, by sighted people. It is a code by which many languages - such as English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and dozens of others - may be written and read, and it has become the most widely used system for blind people across the world. The code system was named after the inventor, Louis Braille (1809-1852), a French educator who lost his eyesight in early childhood by accident.
