[Colorado-Talk] A Definition of Blindness

[Darian Smith]

Hi all,
 Kevan’s announcement got me thinking and my thinking got me to  reading a speech which was given by Dr. Jernigan some years ago.
 , As many here probably know, Dr Jernigan was president of the National Federation of the Blind for a little under 20 years. 
  Kevan also referenced  what might be his most popular speech in “The Nature Of Independence” which is a wonderful read.
 The one I was just reading was “A Definition Of Blindness”.
 The speech was reprinted in a 2005 issue of future  reflections and the link to the issue  which leads off with the Dr. Jernigan article can be found below.
 If you have  the time, take a moment and read the speech.  If you really want to, check out the rest of the  issue. It was really enjoyable and speaks to a diverse array of  experiences around, well, a definition of blindness.
 Have a great evening,
  Darian      .
