Asset Description

Overview & Authentication

·Hellen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama.

·Born with the ability to see and hear, Keller started speaking at six months old and walking at the age of one.

·At 19 months-old, Keller lost both her sight and hearing due to a disease believed to be either scarlet fever or meningitis.

·Throughout her childhood, Keller and the daughter of the family’s cook, Martha Washington, began developing a method of communication — a version of their own sign language.

·Keller was an unruly child, and her family believed she may need to be institutionalized. They brought her to a specialist named Dr. J. Julian Chisolm, who examined her and recommended she visit Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone and an advocate for the blind and deaf. Bell suggested they visit the Perkins institute for the Blind in Boston. It was there that the family was put in touch with a recent graduate, Anne Sullivan.

·From 1887 to 1936, Keller worked with teacher Anne Sullivan and through years of work Keller was able to connect objects held in her hand to words expressed through “finger spelling.”

·In 1890, Keller began speech classes at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf in Boston.

·From 1894 to 1896, Keller attended the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf in New York City.

·In 1896, Keller enrolled at the Cambridge School for Young Ladies. Soon her story became known widely, allowing her to meet and befriend figures such as Mark Twain and Standard Oil executive Henry H. Rodgers.

·Rodgers paid for Keller to attend Radcliffe College — accompanied by Sullivan. She graduated in 1904 at age 24 cum laude, having “mastered several methods of communication, including touch-lip reading, Braille, speech, typing and finger-spelling.”

·In 1924, Keller published “The Story of My Life.” The memoir covered Keller’s life until her time as a college student.

·Throughout her life Keller became a social activist, devoting time to social and political issues such as women’s suffrage, pacifism, and socialism.

·Keller co-founded Heller Keller International, a foundation focused on fighting the causes and consequences of blindness and malnutrition.

·In 1920, Keller was a co-founder to the ACLU.

·In 1936, Keller was awarded the Theodore Roosevelt Distinguished Service Medal.

·In 1946, Keller was appointed as a counselor of international relations for the American Foundation of Overseas Blind.
