[Blindtlk] FW: White Cane Day Event

[Hyde, David W. (ESC)]

Yesterday, teachers from the Milwaukee Public Schools along with members of the NFB of Wisconsin made this event happen. Before and after the event, members and students handed out white cane information, and talked to the public about blindness and visual impairment. We showed up on the front page of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this morning. As a participant, it was great fun, and helped to demonstrate the independence of blind people, and that blind and visually impaired students have the same needs, wants and abilities as their sighted friends! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QVn1yA2Uso&feature=autoplay&list=UL1QVn1yA2Uso&playnext=1
