Excuses Please...

Helen Adams Keller born in 1880, lost her sight and her hearing after an illness when she was 19 months old. In a time before women’s rights, modern-medicine and technology, or anything we consider to be modern disability understanding, she wrote and published fourteen books. She gave speeches.

She said “Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.”

Born in the 1800s.

Blind.

Deaf.

What is our excuse again?
