[Nfb-history] Walking Alone and Marching Together Now Online as MP3Audio

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Tina and listers,

    I thought you would find it sooner or later. Did you find the recordings 
of the Jacobus TenBroek Disability Law Symposia, and the 2009 Beginnings and 
Blueprints Early Childhood Seminar held last May? They're all on the NFB 
Jernigan Institute Web Site.

    Returning to WAMT for a few seconds the thing that surprises me unless 
Ed is  working on this it would be appropriate to include both Text and 
Audio links on that page giving visitors the choice of reading the text or 
hearing the audio without having to access the WAMT text files from one area 
of the Web site and the audio version from another. Ed do you know if there 
are plans to do this?

    As Mike told everyone a few months ago I can use a few hands on deck to 
help me get construction of the Web Site under way. He would like to see it 
up and running by the 2010 National Convention. Let's make it happen. All 
the best for a joyous Thanksgiving.

Peter Donahue

Some of you may remember ordering Walking Alone and Marching Together, the 
history of our first 50 years, on tape in the 1990's. You may remember that 
the tape box was quite bulky, at least, if you got the NFB version with the 
original speeches mixed in.

The text of this major historical publication has been online, but until 
recently, it was only up as text. That meant you either needed to be at your 
computer or you needed a Braille Note or other portable unit that could 
handle web pages, and if you wanted audio, you had to either stick with your 
tape player or make due with the voices provided by your screen reader.

Many of you probably have either a Victor Reader Stream, Book Sense, or 
Plextalk Pocket, and some high capacity SD cards. If that's true for you, 
REJOYCE! This major historical book is FINALLY now up in mp3 audio, and you 
get good narration, along with the original speeches.

To check this out, go to

Thanks, and enjoy.
