<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Below is an audio of Dr. Kenneth Jernigan giving a banquet speech in Las Angeles in 1976.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you want to know more about the philosophy of the National Federation of the Blind and the principal we stand on. I challenge you to listen to this profound and accurate account of why we fight so hard not to take a back seat in life.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This speech also mentions Barbara Pierce who had, in my opinion, one of the worst experiences in a cab with an ignorant driver.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Curious? Just listen!<o:p></o:p></p>
