> On July 26, 2016, the Journal of Blindness Innovation and Research (JBIR) published a special edition dedicated to the proceedings of the General Assembly of the International Council on English Braille, which took place at the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute on May 22-26, 2016. In his introduction to this important edition Dr. Fred Schroeder, newly elected president of the World Blind Union and chief editor of JBIR, stated: “The proceedings of the 2016 ICEB General Assembly is the single largest consolidated source of contemporary information about Unified English Braille (UEB) in the English speaking world. The papers reflect the thinking and deep personal commitment of the world’s foremost authorities on English braille and their determination to insure that braille continues to be the foundation of literacy and equal opportunity for blind people everywhere.”
