According to the NFB website "This speech was recorded
twice--once at
the 1963 convention, as "Blindness--A Dying or a Living?" and
once in a
studio, as "Blindness: Handicap or Characteristic?"

Oh, I understand! But do you mean the version called Blindness:
A Living or a Dying? I'm listening to Handicap and Characteristic
right now and the NFB site said that this version was recorded in
a studio. Both versions were given in 1963.

It's the only speech of those Ellen mentioned that is an actual
banquet speech; the others were given at other times during
conventions.

Hi Mike,
What do you mean by Handicap or Characteristic being the only
banquet speech?

I concur with Ellen's choices below and those enumerated by
Robert Jaquiss. Strictly-speaking, "Handicap or Characteristic"
is the only banquet speech, having been given in Philadelphia in
1963, I think.
Additionally, as someone else recommended, "The Man and the
Movement" gives some of Dr. tenBroek's notable speeches, of
which "Within the Grace of God" from 1956 is a favorite of many.
Of Dr. Jernigan's banquet addresses, I like 1976's "Of Visions
and Vultures" and 1985's "The Road to Freedom". Of Dr. Maurer's
speeches, I like one of his first, "Back to Notre Dame" as I had
some similar experiences.

Hi Ryan,
Are these the "Is the Public Against Us," "Is Literature Against
Us," and "Is History Against Us," trilogy? Here's another one
that I learned a lot about historically: "The Lessons of History"
given by Jernigan in 1980. Let me rephrase my original question
to get a little more out of this discussion. :) Don't get me
wrong, you're all giving me great information! But here's another
question: what are your favorite speeches from each President,
tenBroek, Jernigan, and Maurer?

Chris, Mike is towing the party line, which isn't really wrong I
guess. Some have said that once you've heard a banquet speech,
you've heard them all.
There's a kernel of truth in this idea. Even Jernigan admitted
that the banquet speeches were more or less similar in their
content and purpose.
However, you can learn a lot about where we were historically by
listening to each speech. A good example of this is, "A Corner
of Time,"
from 1981,
which high-lights our struggles with various individuals and
organizations who opposed us.
Another departure from the standard formula came in a trilogy of
speeches from the mid-1970's in which Jernigan chose a specific
focus for his premise. Those are some of my favorites.
