<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Arizona affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind is proud to host a presentation by Peggy Chong, also known as the Blind History Lady. Peggy Chong is the author of more than
a dozen books about “Blind Ancestors” who have made a difference. Each book highlights their struggles and triumphs as blind people and highlights the normality of their lives and how each person was an integral part of his/her community as a normal citizen.
She says: “Blind people historically held regular jobs and pursued professions that are the same as professions occupied by people without disabilities.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In 2016, Peggy launched "The Blind History Lady" project. Her work is published regularly in the Braille Monitor. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Peggy’s presentation will focus on blind people from the past in Arizona, what they did and where they went. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
