Colleagues,

Actually "Reflecting the Flame" was  delivered by Dr. Marc Maurer. Fun fact: this speech was the basis for "Blind Man's Blues" , authored by several of us who attended the banquet that night including people like Chris Danielsen, Shannon Cook, Harold Anderson, and yours truly.

At the end of 2021, we began listening to past banquet speeches from previous conventions. We took a few months off for the holidays, but now we are bringing them back! 

 

On Wednesday, January 26, 2022 at 8:00 PM eastern the National Federation of the blind of SC will hold a Zoom event to relive the banquet speech from New Orleans in 1991 entitled Reflecting the Flame by Dr. Kenneth Jernigan! This will be the actual recording, so we can experience his passion and excitement for ourselves!

 

We hope everyone will join us to relive this wonderful speech to inspire us all!
