Not exactly. Disability Day is for awareness of all disabilities. Washington Seminar is where NFB members gather from around the country to discuss issues and legislation particularly relating to blindness.

It would be a great idea to have a SC Seminar where people go to the state house to represent people with disabilities here as well!

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.
