FOIA Helen Keller Author, Advocate for Visually and Hearing Impaired Helen Keller lost her sight and hearing as a young child from illness but overcame these challenges and went on to become the twentieth century's best known advocate for people with disabilities. Through her writing, lectures, and work with various organizations, Keller focused public attention on issues affecting the handicapped. She was also successful in making Braille the standard for printed communication with the blind. She had a lifelong relationship with the American Foundation for the Blind, and was instrumental in the Lions Club International's devotion to the blind and blindness prevention. Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama. She was less than two years old when she lost her sight and hearing due to a childhood illness. In March 1887 her parents arranged for Helen to be tutored by an extraordinary young teacher, Anne Sullivan. The results over the next several years were nothing short of miraculous. Using only the sense of touch, Sullivan was able to teach Keller to communicate by the manual alphabet, to read Braille, to use a special typewriter, and eventually to speak and read lips. An award winning play and movie, "The Miracle Worker," chronicled the success Sullivan had in getting Keller to make the connection between a word and the object it represented. Keller went on to enroll at Radcliffe and graduated with honors in 1904. Keller had a great facility with language and went on to learn Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, and Italian, in addition to English.

HOME PEACEMAKERS READINGS CALENDAR ... ABOUT US Helen Keller An illness at 19 months left Helen Keller blind and deaf. She overcame these handicaps to become a noted lecturer and author of eleven books and numerous articles. Keller actively campaigned all her life for the underdog and the oppressed. She spoke out against the restrictions on freedom of speech during the First World War and spent time visiting the wounded during World War II. Helen Keller was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civilian honor. Source: " Strike Against War " (January 5, 1916) "I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me a horror of a family feud. I look upon true patriotism as the brotherhood of man and the service of all to all. The only fighting that saves is the one that helps the world toward liberty, justice and an abundant life for all. "After all, the best preparedness is one that disarms the hostility of other nations and makes friends of them. Nothing is to be gained by the workers from war. They suffer all the miseries, while the rulers reap the rewards. Their wages are not increased, nor their toil made lighter, nor their homes made more comfortable. The army they are supposed to raise can be used to break strikes as well as defend the people." Source: " Menace of the Militarist Program "As civilization has grown more complex the workers have become more and more enslaved, until today they are little more than parts of the machines they operate. Daily they face the dangers of railroad, bridge, skyscraper, freight train, stokehold, stockyard, lumber raft and mine. Panting and straining at the docks, on the railroads and underground and on the seas, they move the traffic and pass from land to land the precious commodities that make it possible for us to live. And what is their reward? A scanty wage, often poverty, rents, taxes, tributes and war indemnities."

When 19 months old, Helen was stricken with an acute illness that left her deaf and blind. In a short time she forgot the few words she knew and became silent. She made use of signs to get what she wanted, but when her parents or the family servants did not understand her, her frustration found an outlet in screaming and tantrums. In the 1880s people who were both deaf and blind were classified in law as idiots. A doctor who examined Keller, however, thought that her intelligence could be developed. On the advice of

Nothing c a n be done without hope and confidence Helen Keller An inspiration to generations, Helen Adams Keller (1880-1968) was blind, deaf, and mute after an illness at age nineteen months. She did not utter her first word until she was seven. "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much," she believed. Her extraordinary teacher and life-long friend, Anne Mansfield Sullivan (1866-1936) was nearly blind herself and used her gift of tenacity and spirit to force Helen's mind from the dark. Hour upon hour, Sullivan signed words into Helen's hand until the word W A T E R burst through. "That living word awakened my soul , gave it light, hope joy , set it free!" Keller understood and learned quickly. Touching a person's face, feeling the vibrations in the throat, and "reading" what they said as they spoke. With optimism and inspiration , Helen Keller became a living miracle , graduating cum laude from Radcliffe College in 1904. She inspired the world as a writer for United Press International and other publications. She also was a powerful public speaker.

When Helen Keller touched it, she was so pleased that she wrote her signature with a tool in the clay. The signature appears on the bronze cast. The quote that is written on the plaque, "To be blind is to see the bright side of life," was a remark that Helen Keller made to Winifred Holt. Holt studied with noted artists such as Augustus Saint-Gaudens and exhibited at the National Sculpture Society and Architectural League in New York City and in Europe. The portrait is an important addition to the Callahan Museum collection. Other artifacts in the museum exhibit devoted to Helen Keller are photographs, a volume of Keller's braille Bible, and a personal letter to an American Printing House employee.

Helen Keller quotes American author and educator who was blind and deaf, 1880-1968 When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. A man can't make a place for himself in the sun if he keeps taking refuge under the family tree. Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadow. The only real blind person at Christmas-time is he who has not Christmas in his heart.

Features Vita Helen Keller Brief life of a woman who found her own way: 1880-1968 by Roger Shattuck Totally deaf and blind from the age of 19 months, world famous at seven for having learned to read, write, and communicate through the finger alphabet, Helen Keller took it into her head, as a teenager addicted to books, to apply for admission to Radcliffe College. She really wanted to go to Harvard, which would not consider her. For four years she prepped and was tutored for examinations in English literature, French, German, Latin, Greek, history, and mathematics. Working on a typewriter, she earned satisfactory grades in all subjects; for the bugaboo of geometry, she relied on tactile diagrams made of raised letters and lines. Radcliffe admitted her. This 1898 photograph from a souvenir publication shows how Anne Sullivan (at right) "read-spelled" to Helen Keller and how they conversed.
