    Extractions: In Tuscumbia, Alabama on June 27, 1880 Captain Arthur H. and Kate Adams Keller had a beautiful baby girl named Helen Adams Keller. Tragedy struck when little Helen was 5 months shy of her second birthday. She was overcome by a terrible illness that left her blind and deaf. Helen's doctors told her parents it was a "brain fever." However, modern doctors and researchers still are not sure whether it was meningitis, scarlet fever, or a severe bout of encephalitis. Although quite intelligent, due to the fact that Helen could neither speak nor hear she had developmental difficulties. Communication was nearly impossible. By the time Helen was seven, she was so unmanageable that her family had just about given up hope. On February 3, 1887, Helen's father wrote a letter to Alexander Graham Bell, who eleven years earlier had also the invented the telephone, thanking the inventor for taking an interest in his little girl. By May of 1888 Helen's family and Bell were exchanging many letters. Alexander advised Mrs. Keller to write the Perkins School for the Blind, an establishment Mrs. Keller recognized from the Dickens' novel 'American Notes'. Michael Anagnos, the director of Perkins School sent a young graduate of the institute to live with them. Her name was Anne Sullivan. In 1900 Helen reached her goal and attended Radcliff College. Later on Radcliff dedicated a garden in her name and gave her the Alumnae Achievement Award. At Radcliff she met and befriended John Albert Macy. John helped Helen write her first book and autobiography entitled The Story of My Life. By the time Helen was 24 she had graduated college with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She was the first deaf blind woman to receive this degree. Even though Anne was married in 1905 to John Macy, it did not change Anne and Helen's relationship. They were inseparable until Anne's death in 1936. Anne was worried about who would look after Helen so she hired and trained a girl named Polly Thompson as her replacement.

    Extractions: Helen Keller Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama. She was born with full sight and hearing. When Helen was 19 months old, she became very ill. Her parents were very worried about her but when she recovered they were excited that she was well. It didn't take long for her mother to realize that something was wrong with Helen. She didn't hear the dinner bell and when Helen's mother passed her hand in front of Helen's eyes, she didn't respond. It was then that they realized the illness had made Helen deaf and blind. The following years were very difficult for Helen and her family. She became frustrated that she couldn't understand what was going on around her, so she started acting very badly. She smashed dishes and lamps. Sometimes she had screaming tantrums. Her parents didn't know what to do. Some relatives thought she should be put away in an institution. Her parents traveled to Baltimore with Helen to visit a special doctor. He told them about Alexander Graham Bell who had invented the telephone. Bell had become very interested in how to teach deaf children. He recommended the Kellers get in touch with the director of the Perkins Institution and Massachusetts Asylum for the Blind to ask for a teacher. The director recommended Anne Sullivan.

    Extractions: An Inspiration for the Deaf and Blind Helen Keller was born to Captain Arthur and Kate Keller on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama. At the age of 19 months, a terrible thing happened to Helen. She was struck deaf, blind, and mute by an illness thought to be scarlet fever. For almost five years, she grew up as wild and unruly child unable to communicate well with anyone. At the age of seven, at the recommendation of Alexander Graham Bell, Helen began receiving lessons in reading and writing from Anne Mansfield Sullivan of the Perkins Institute. Miss Sullivan taught Helen words with the use of touch. Anne would have Helen feel the object and then spell the word in her hand. After two years of intense study, Helen was able to read and write Braille as well as learn to speak. In 1900 she entered Radcliffe College and graduated in 1904. This made her the first deaf-blind person to graduate from college. In 1936, Helen Keller moved to Westport, CT where she lived until her death on June 1, 1968 at the age of 87.

    Extractions: About Us Contact Us 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.

    Extractions: About Us Contact Us American author and educator who was blind and deaf, 1880-1968 When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed to an uncharted land or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. College isn't the place to go for ideas. When one door of happiness closes, another opens. Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable. Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

    Extractions: American writer, who proved how language could liberate the blind and the deaf, becoming a world-famous inspiration for others. In An Intimate History of Humanity (1994) Theodore Zeldin wrote that "no history of the world can be complete which does not mention Mary Helen Keller... whose overcoming of her blindness and deafness were arguably victories more important than those of Alexander the Great, because they have implications still for every living person." "Children who hear acquire language without any particular effort; the words that fall from others' lips they catch on the wing, as it were, delightedly, while the little deaf child must trap them by a slow and often painful process. But whatever the process, the result is wonderful. Gradually from naming an object we advance step by step until we have traversed the vast distance between our first stammered syllable and the sweep of thought in a line of Shakespeare."

Helen was to forever call this day "The most important day of my life". From that fateful day, the Anne and Helen were inseparable until Anne’s death in 1936. But soon after they began, Helen discovered the correlation between words and objects. Anne used practical situations to show her this connection. The first time Helen made that connection was when "Teacher", which is what Helen always called Anne, took her outside to the water pump. Anne started to draw water and put Helen’s hand under the spout. As the cool water flowed over one hand, she spelled the word "w-a-t-e-r" manually into the other hand. Suddenly the signals had meaning in Helen’s mind. It was here that Helen learned that everything had a name and that the manual alphabet was the key to everything she wanted to know. On fire with this realization, Helen learned 300 words in a few months time. By mid-July she wrote her first letter to her mother and by the end of 1887 she began to be viewed by the public as one of the most remarkable children in the world.

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. Winifred Holt (1870-1945) Winifred Holt and her sister, Edith Holt, were daughters of publisher Henry Holt. The Holt sisters founded The Lighthouse in 1905 at their home in New York City. The Lighthouse was incorporated in 1906 as the New York Association for the Blind. After World War I, Winifred Holt founded Lighthouses in Europe for the rehabilitation of blinded war veterans. She was awarded the Legion of Honor from France and received international and national recognition for her work to aid blind people. The organization is now known as Lighthouse International, and its mission is to serve people across the full continuum of vision impairment.

    Extractions: Equal Rights Crusader Helen Keller (1880-1968) Although she was born perfectly normal, a childhood disease (possibly scarlet fever) left Helen Keller blind, deaf, and mute just a few months past her first birthday. Totally unreachable in any regular way and locked in the prison of her diminished capabilities, Helen grew into a wild, uncontrollable child. She couldn't hear her parents when they spoke to her and she couldn't communicate with them, so she often used tantrums to get her way. When she was six years old, Helen was examined by American inventor Alexander Graham Bell, and that encounter would change her life. Bell sent her a teacher who had been specially trained to work with blind children, and Helen would call the day that Annie Sullivan water The Miracle Worker . With Annie's help, Helen learned to read and write in Braille and also mastered Tadoma, a difficult method of lip-reading in which the fingertips are pressed against lips to interpret the movement and vibrations. Helen also learned to speak, an incredible achievement for someone who could not hear at all. Determined from childhood to go to college, Helen graduated from Radcliffe with honors in 1904. During her college days, Helen wrote her autobiography, The Story of My Life , a book that is still available today in more than 50 languages. For the next half-century, Helen devoted her life to activism. She championed women's rights, fought for fair pay for workers and equality for minorities, and became a world crusader for the underprivileged and oppressed, especially the blind. "Ignorance and poverty," she said, "are the causes of much blindness. These are the enemies which destroy the rights of children and workmen, and undermine the health of mankind. These causes must be searched out ... and abolished." Through her lectures and her writings, she almost single-handedly destroyed age-old myths about blindness and handicapped persons. She worked with the

    Extractions: 256 pages This is a good biography of Helen Keller (1880-1968), the blind and deaf girl who demonstrated that many things in life were still possible to those with physical challenges. This volume covers all the major events and important people in Keller's life. Because she was in the public spotlight for most of her years, this book talks about many of the great public figures and events of Keller's day. The book includes two sets of pictures, one from her early and one from her later years. You'll read about her personal struggles, her private fears, her education, her work, and her politics. And you'll be amazed at the full and productive life of one of the most remarkable women who ever lived. From the time that she was six years old until the end of her long life, Helen was famous. It began as an accidental tragedy: she developed a fever that almost killed her when she was 19 months old. When she recovered, her sight faded slowly away; her parents learned that she had become deaf also. The last word to fade away from Helen was the word "water." Then there was nothing. She lived the first few years of her life like a little savage, unable to be reached by those around her except in the most primitive of human communications, touch. She ate by roaming around the dinner table and sticking her hands into other people's plates. Nobody knew how to discipline a child who was so severely handicapped - and it seemed cruel to discipline her at all. But Helen was highly intelligent, and she knew that other people could talk with their mouths in a way that she could not. Her rage at this "differentness" that she could not understand found its expression in what she later called the Phantom. When the Phantom side of Helen's personality appeared, she was wild, physically strong, and almost uncontrollable.
