[nfbmi-talk] The Louis Braille Coin Education Set

[Jim Prather]

Hi Federationists,
    Yesterday, I received in the mail my Louis Braille Education Set, which has a Louis Braille dollar in a protective case (which I won't open.) It has the inprint of both sides of the coin and has a powerful quote from Helen Keller among others.
    I love the quote "Braille brings literacy, independence and productivity to the blind." which is at the bottom of the left-hand side as you open the set up; this is a very true statement.  I'm glad that, 45 years ago in Buffalo, NY, I learned Braille when the system said that I wouldn't amount to anything; this was true for many of us back then and we became overcomers.  Bless our Convention this weekend in GR.
