[Nfb-history] favorite convention banquet speeches

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Michael,

Thank you!!! I'm definitely going to look into that.  Well heck, 
being as close to the NCB as I am here in Maryland, I might just 
stop in and take a look at the library! I'm also thinking about 
ordering the Braille copy of Walking Alone, if I can get that 
from Independence Market.

Chris,
There are a couple of approaches you could take.  One is to read 
Walking
Alone and Marching Together.  It is a history of the organized 
blind
movement from 1940 to 1990.  While not intended to be an 
exhaustive
history, it does go over some of the important events that have 
shaped
our movement.  If you go to
http://www.nfb.org/nfb/Literature_History.asp?SnID=755323084 you 
will
find a number of books and articles including an audio version of
Walking Alone which includes the audio of many banquet addresses 
dubbed
in.  When I discovered it I was all tingly!
Also you can go to
http://www.nfb.org/nfb/Speeches_and_Reports_Banquet_Speeches.asp?
SnID=755323084
where a huge number of banquet addresses and other speeches are
located.  I believe there is text and audio of most and video of 
some.
Enjoy my friend.  There is a wealth of information awaiting you.
Michael

 Hi all,

 As I am a newer member of the NFB, and starting to get 
interested in
 the history of the Federation, I have a question for you more
 experienced Federationists and history buffs.  :) This could 
also
 start a great discussion that may help many of us find some 
historical
 information.  If you had to pick, what are your personal 
favorite
 National Convention banquet speeches from Dr.  tenBroek, Dr.
 Jernigan, and Dr.  Maurer? I ask this so I can get 
recommendations for
 banquet speeches I may want to read and/or listen to.  Please 
let us
 know!
