Hi, all,
Last night 20/20 hosted a program about albinism. It is a very informative
program. Here is the link http://www.abcnews.con/20/20.
There is deplorable situation that exists in Tanzania that affects albinos.
I realize that NFB is an inclusive group, however, I feel we are largely
ignored group. While we have common problems with other blind people, we
have our own set of problems. Sometimes I get frustrated with the "one
sized fits all" philosophy. I feel as if the problems that legally blind
face are swept aside. Yes, I realize that most forms of blindness are
degenerative. However, what about those of us whose vision is degenerative,
in and of itself? Do we matter? Do we count?
I know some of you are groaning. And I believe some people are going to
take issue with this. So, be it.
I've spoken my piece.
Connie
