<h2>NFB One-Minute Message<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

same key combination to invoke full speech. On an iOS device use a three-finger double tap to turn speech off. Perform a three-finger double tap to re-enable speech. On a Mac you will need to unload Voice Over using CMD-F5. Even with Voice Over off you

is a button (but is not labeled as a button in the most current version) that says, “raise hand”. Double tap and it will switch to “Lower hand”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Participants List: To see Participants on Windows Alt-U. On Mac CMD-U. On an iOS device the button is located in the lower right-hand section of the screen. You will also see a “Raise Hand” button in the “Participants” section
