IMAGINEERING OUR FUTURE

  _____  

President's Letter

We strive every day to ensure that all blind people can lift their voice and the diverse choir of the National Federation of the Blind is our strongest vehicle for amplifying all our voices.  <https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=19987&qid=4864290> More from President Riccobono.

Black History Month is a time of reflection. Denise Avant shares her thoughts on this important time, and we learn about the experiences of Black Americans within the blind community.  <https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=19988&qid=4864290> More about our diverse community.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day we raise the expectations of and for blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We can live the lives we want; blindness is not what holds us back. Please join us in our work by becoming a member, attending an event, sharing this newsletter, or supporting our programs.
