[Blindtlk] Letter to the Editor: Dining inthe Dark events re:[blindtlk] fw: MIRA Foundation

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi David,

Well, I'm one of those people; I'm a history buff and would be 
very interested in reading that law review article, which I have 
heard so many things about through the NFB.  Do you know of a 
place where I can read it online?

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions 
which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  For more

To follow up on Mikes post, the origin of the premise that being 
out in public and that it not be viewed as either contributory or 
comparative negligence stems from an article from the Stanford 
Law Review by Dr.  TenBroek entitles
"The Right to Live in the World; The Blind, Disabled, and law of 
torts.) For those who like to go way back to how things started, 
this is it.  To my mind, at least, it serves as the basis for the 
civil rights laws passed regarding disabilities.

Mike I know you are right.  During the week the blind students 
from the colorado center were injured and I gbelieve one was 
killed there were people out there that thought somehow they were 
responsible just because they were waiting for the bus.
