This year we are featuring two authors: Marilyn Davidson Elliott and Dr.
Joseph Fitzgerald. In *The Blind Mechanic*, Mrs. Elliott tells us about her
dad, Eric Davidson, who was an auto mechanic during the time of the 1920s
and 1930s when there were very few blind people employed in anything. This
book is available on BARD. The number is DB104816. Dr. Joseph Fitzgerald’s
informative book about the civil rights activist Gloria Richardson sheds
light on the struggle for equal rights on the eastern shore of Maryland.
LBPD will record this book and it will be available for patrons to read
soon. Eric Davidson and Gloria Richardson were pioneers who turned their
dreams into reality.
Don’t miss this program!

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is
not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday 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.
