<div><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear All,</FONT></div>
<div><FONT size=2 face=Arial> While attending a recent Leadership Seminar, Dr. Maurer read an article from the Braille Forum, the publication of the ACB, written by their former President, Paul Edwards. This article appeared in the january 1998 edition of the magazine. I was very tempted to edit the piece slightly to remove any reference to Mr. Edwards just to see what sort of response I would get from Council sympathizers on our lists who thought it was an anti Council propoganda piece! We really don't need to look far to find the differences between the NFB and the ACB. All we need to do is read the words of their leaders!I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! You really need to read to the end because the last sentence is the best!</FONT></div>
<div><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </div>
<div><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Fraternally yours,</FONT></div>

<div class=MsoNormal>THE QUESTION</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>by Paul Edwards</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>At the beginning of a new year, it's perhaps appropriate to pause for a little reflection. It's customary to do what I have done before with this column</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>and look back at the preceding year and ahead to the next one. I am not going to do that! Instead, I want to offer some of my answers to the question I</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>get asked more often than any other as president of the American Council of the Blind. Can you guess what the question is? What does the ACB stand for?</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>What is ACB's philosophy? What makes the ACB different from the NFB? Though this question has been posed in three different ways, it's really the same</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>question.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>I have often thought of dealing with this issue here and have avoided it because many will disagree with whatever I say. Disagreement is good! One of ACB's</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>hallmarks is its tolerance for people with divergent notions of who they are and what ACB is! That, in fact, is one of the organization'<WBR>s characteristics!</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>It is a fluid set of beliefs and assumptions that changes from state to state and from time to time. But, for me anyway, there are some core values that</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>are at the heart of what the ACB is! Here are some of them!</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>It is OK to be blind! That's a big one! It carries with it a whole set of other ancillary values. First and foremost, people who have meaningful vision</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>loss are blind. Blindness is much more than just a nuisance. Blind people can and should expect society to make changes that facilitate the inclusion of</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>people who are blind. These last two values may be areas where members of the National Federation of the Blind would not agree with us!</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>Another core value of the ACB relates to expectations! We are absolutely convinced that there is not a one-size-fits-<WBR>all "blind person" or that there should</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>be! I believe that ACB values diversity and is tolerant of people who are at various levels of independence. Does that mean that we don't champion good</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>training or expect a lot of our members? I don't think so! It does mean that we embrace people at various levels of competence and try very hard not to</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>be judgmental about where people are! In a very real sense, I think that ACB has almost instinctively adopted the "People First" model by placing individuality</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>far above other values in seeing each other.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>And then there is democracy! ACB, as most of you well know, was formed, in part, because those who created our organization believed that states and individual</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>members alike had to have substantial autonomy to express divergent opinions without being penalized. So, another core value of ACB is the notion that</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>there must be room for a broad range of beliefs within our organization. If this is a core value, and I think it is, it goes a long way toward explaining</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>why we have never been able to produce the kind of coherent, easily portable creed that all of our members must accept.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>All of the divergence I have talked about so far has some real drawbacks. It truly has impeded coherent, centralized decision-taking and probably always</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>will. That divergence has also made it difficult for us to arrive at positions sometimes. Where there is disagreement, we debate. This debate can often</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>take many years and can cause us to take positions that may seem somewhat ambivalent to those who do not know us well. I choose to use a different word!</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>Our positions validate divergence by creating a place where the majority of our members are comfortable.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>What I have written about here does not constitute a complete list of our core values. It may well not be your core list of our fundamental beliefs. But</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>there is one more core value I think we can agree upon! That is that the ACB is much more than just a group of blind people meeting and working together</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>for common goals! It's much larger than the sum of its members! It's a hug when you're feeling sad! It's a belly-laugh at those in society who just don't</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>understand! It's arms around each other when we lose someone! It's a place where you can feel safe! It's anger distilled into action as people die falling</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>off subway platforms! It's people arguing and hugging afterwards! It's 1,500 people singing the national anthem! It's help and hope and hands and holding</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>and happiness and hilarity. It's us, alone and together, divided and united, men and women, young and old! And it's the American Council of the Blind!</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>So when someone asks you what the American Council of the Blind is or any of those other questions, you can show him or her this column! Will it tell him</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>or her who we are and what we believe? Not really. It might help, but ACB is not a philosophy. It's a dynamic never-ending experience, and the only way</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>you can truly understand us is to plunge right in among us and become us! And then, if you fully understand who we are, tell me because I would like to</div>
<div class=MsoNormal>know too!</div>
