Good afternoon Sharon, it’s Jannis Butler. Is there a recording for the event that was held on Saturday featuring Mrs. Elliot and Dr.Fitzgerald? Due to technical difficulties regarding my Wi-Fi, I was unable to hear the entire presentation.
 regards,

In the Blind Mechanic, Mrs. Elliott tells us about her dad, Eric Davidson, who was an auto mechanic during the time of the 1920s and 1930s when there were very few blind people employed in anything. This book is available on BARD. The number is DB104816. Dr. Joseph Fitzgerald’s informative book about the civil rights activist Gloria Richardson sheds light on the struggle for equal rights on the eastern shore of Maryland. We hope that LBPD will record this book and it will be available for patrons to read soon. Eric Davidson and Gloria Richardson were pioneers who turned their dreams into reality. Don’t miss this program!

Everyday we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
