In 1968, which famous blind and deaf woman died at the age of 87?
Correct answer: Helen Keller
SamTBug
I have 2 adult children with severe disabilities and Helen Keller’s story always makes me cry. How absolutely beautiful that 1 person could make such a difference to her life, giving her the ability to help others too. People like my children are the 1st to suffer in any government cutbacks. I have campaigned in the past and won on a few small levels, but I am getting too old to fight. I feel there are not enough people who feel strongly enough to protest against the government and make a real difference for these truly vulnerable people. What a shame there are not more people like Helen’s teacher. It is a hard battle and we need more soldiers.

wish that Anne Sullivan also be highly recognized, since she was the one saw and worked hard to emerge Helen Keller’s potential. What she did is highly commendable. So teachers have a deep impact on the life of their students.😁

I seen "The Miracle Worker" starring Patty Duke. Helen Keller really put up a fight with Annie Sullivan! That slapping scene was something else.

SamTBug, How strong you are to not only care for your children but to campaign (& win) as well! You are never too old to share your story and perhaps you could write letters and petition for changes from home? I & everyone I know would gladly sign any petition or the like to help our most vulnerable! After all, it is they who truly need help. I wish you happiness and success.😊

Mom mom Cindy , very sad she was a Socialist however she was probably lied to like many of us in the US and other countries. Socialism is not a good thing.

yup 😁

SamTBug, I agree completely. But it's not just people with disabilities. Most senior citizens don't have enough resources either. The lucky ones get help from their children.

HippieTasha, Why would anyone give that a thumbs down?! I, for one, thank you for the info, even if you wrote it 4 years ago!

Helen Keller was a person who couldn't talk hear or see but she learned to talk with her mom and teacher and she is an American idol (not the show as in she is always special in someone's heart)

Mom mom Cindy , She was educated in Boston from the time she learned to "speak." Socialism explained.

I wonder who taught her to be a socialist?

Lunar, you’re correct, teachers need to be paid more money, cause teachers teach how to read, math, science etc, to presidents, lawyers, doctors, nurses and more.

penawareof, I can't believe that she went to college deaf and blind 😲

I remember learning about both of these remarkable women: Ms. Keller and Ms. Sullivan. Ms. Keller persevered. Really extraordinary work and persistence on the part of Ms. Sullivan. Honorable and Integral inclusion of the teaching profession. Truly to be commended.

I remember reading her story in school. Brave woman..Didnt realize she lived so long..She is one to remember..

Disabled people like that are here for a reason. It’s to tell the rest of us that we have no excuse, none whatsoever.
