[nabs-l] Question

[Kaiti Shelton]

To add to the year we were founded, here is some other information.

Yes-we were founded in 1940.  The NFB's birthplace is Wilkes-Barre
Pennsylvania.  The 7 original affiliates were Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota, California, and Missouri.  There were just
16 people in attendance.
If you want a more detailed history, the book "Walking Alone, Marching
Together," is available for free on the NFB web site in several
formats.  It details everything through the first two presidencies
held by TenBroek and Jernigan, plus some of Dr. Maurer's era.  It also
includes information about the "Civil War" in the late 50s which
ultimately spawned the ACB.  It's a good read.
