[nabs-l] books on blind history

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Dennis:

     I suggest starting with Dr. Jernigan's banquet speech Is History 
Against Us. The year is either 1973 or 1974. The text of the speech lists 
some books in the endnotes. RFB&D has Wilson's History of the Blind edited 
by Ken Stuckey. This is an odd sort of book, but interesting nevertheless. 
Beauties and Achievements of the Blind by Artman and Hall is another early 
reference. Not sure if this book is in accessible form. There is a list for 
blindness history, nfb-history on nfbnet.

     The ACB has a book, I think its called People of Vision. Haven't read 
it, so don't know much about it except that it is very large. Hope this 
helps.

Regards,

Robert
