> About the NFB
>
>        The National Federation of the Blind is the oldest and largest
> organization of the blind in the United States. The NFB believes that the

> of the blind that create obstacles to achieving their highest potential. 
> The
> Federation provides scholarships to blind students; support for those who
> are blind or losing their eyesight; advocacy for the blind facing
> discrimination; and educational programs for the general public on topics 
> of
> blindness. The NFB is not an organization that speaks on behalf of the
> blind; they are the blind speaking for themselves. For more information
