[nfb-talk] Picketing Delores Kelley's Office:

We need to give her sleep shades, no pen and no recorder and see how she can function for an hour.  A chalange like this just might change her opinion.  She would have no way to write and everything she did for that hour would have to be remembered!  I wouldn't even offer her a cane and see if she even takes the chalange to walk around the office.
With braille, we have our notes right on the spot.  With recordings, we have to work double, reading and taking the notes in braille.  I have been through it.
Hopefully this would change her perspective on the blind and the use of braille.
