In his 2018 banquet speech, National Federation of the Blind President Mark
A. Riccobono recognized and celebrated the vital contributions of blind
women leaders in the National Federation of the Blind. March is Women’s
History Month and we want to hear from and celebrate today’s Black women
leaders in our movement. Join us to hear from strong, intelligent and
dedicated women in the Federation.

Joining us will be Dorothy Griffin, President of the NFB of Georgia and
President of the NFB of Georgia’s Atlanta chapter, Barbara Manuel,
President of the NFB of Alabama, Suzanne Turner, 1st Vice President of the
NFB of Ohio and President of the NFB of Ohio’s Cleveland Chapter and
Sabrina Simmons, 2d Vice President of the NFB of Michigan and President of
the NFB of Michigan’s Detroit chapter.

These powerful women will share their stories as they ascended to
leadership in our movement. What brought them to the Federation and what
are their contributions to our organization? How have they successfully led
their affiliates and chapters?  How do they balance their competing roles
such as work, wife and mother and involvement in the Federation and their
communities? Who are some of their role models?

All are welcome to participate in this celebration of women in the civil
rights movement of blind people.
National Federation Of The Blind Of The District Of Columbia Washington, DC

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
