opportunities in Indianapolis, Indiana where he resides today. He worked for
Daimler Chrysler for seven years as a Foundry Technician and Safety Coordinator
prior to losing his eyesight. Lee lost his sight to a condition called
sclerotic. His condition, however, did not stop him from continuing his efforts
to fight for the rights of others. His federal lawsuit was featured in The
Indianapolis Star newspaper, Braille Monitor as well as the Indiana Business
Journal for employment discrimination. He continues his activism doing
presentations around the state of Indiana to the general public and to the
blind community to engage, encourage and inspire Indiana citizens to pursue
their inalienable rights. As president of the Circle City Chapter of the
National Federation of the Blind, Lee and his chapter brings awareness to the
urban community with outreach initiatives with, churches, community centers,
summer youth camps, support groups, Town Hall meetings etc.</span></p>
