[nfb-talk] NFB beginnings

[Star Gazer]

			I haven't read NFB's book. 
Some you may enjoy are My Eyes Have A Cold Nose 
And Meet My Girls. 
Both involve dog users, but the take-away at least for me is that like with
all things, those who have the will and the support network and the good
timing to be born at the right time can do just about anything. Get enough
of those people together and change happens.

Adrijana,

You may find it interesting to read part or all of the book Walking Alone
and Marching Together, which covers the first fifty years of NFB history.
Here are link to the book online.

 Hi all,

 Wondering if anyone here has ever been in contact with the NFB founders or
anyone else who was greatly involved since the Federation's beginnings and
how it all started? I found the basics on the NFB site, but I am getting to
wonder what things were like then for the blind on a daily basis, how it was
that they could meet and hold meetings and make arrangements of all kinds at
that time when orientation and mobility and other blindness skills were not
much known or taught to the blind. I am sure that the founders and others
who were involved have already proved themselves and their abilities, but I
guess it is always nice to hear stories of all kinds that may lead someone
somewhere. Not everywhere in the world the blind have equal opportunities
and I hope it would be of help to some of us.
