History:
Helen Adams Keller was born in Tuscumbia,
Alabama in 1880. Blind and deaf since infancy, she learned to read, write, and
speak from her teacher, Anne Sullivan of the Perkins School. She graduated from
Radcliffe College in 1904, and lectured widely on behalf of sightless people. In
1913, she authored the book, Out of the Dark. Her writings include The World We
Live In (1908) and The Story of My Life (1902) which later became the subject of
the film The Miracle Worker. She died in 1968. This beautifully eloquent
quotation is from a letter sent to the Reverend Phillip Brooks, in 1891,
appealing for funds to send a poor, deaf, and blind boy, named Tommy Stringer,
to the Perkins School. She was only 11 years old at the time.
