<h2><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a name="President"></a><span style="font-size: medium;">Message from the President</span></span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dear Friends:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">This summer I am celebrating my twentieth anniversary as a member of the National Federation of the Blind. I learned about the Federation when attending the national convention in Anaheim, California, right around the corner from Disneyland. My new Federation family members took me to Disneyland and gave me a true lesson in the Federation philosophy. We raced around the park using our long white canes, asking questions to get directions, and having a lot of fun. I was amazed that any blind person would think this was something they could do without sighted assistance. I did not know the empowering philosophy of the Federation nor did I have the skills to do it myself—my
friends in the Federation were modeling it for me.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I remember that the “It’s a Small World” ride was the one everyone loved. Maybe it was the music, the animatronics, the concept of world peace, being able to relax for a moment, or the combination of all of the above that made it so special to so many people. As I was reflecting upon what to write about this month, I found myself reflecting upon the meetings of the World Blind Union and the International Council for the Education of the Visually Impaired that the National Federation of the Blind hosted in Orlando in August. In meeting blind people from around the world, discussing our common interests and the barriers we face, and dreaming of how we can
continue to improve public perception of the blind, my first experience at Disneyland came to mind. It truly is a small world. Although the experience for me as a blind person in the United States in 2016 is different from the current experience of blind people in many developing countries today, there still are many commonalities. The most significant commonality being that we all battle against the persistent low expectations that come from misconceptions about blindness. One difference is that in the United States we in the National Federation of the Blind have pioneered the best training available to the blind anywhere in the world through our affiliated training centers: <a href="http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=5759&qid=1373110" target="_blank" title="Link to BLIND INC.">BLIND Inc.</a>, <a href="http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=5760&qid=1373110" target="_blank" title="Link to the Colorado Center for the Blind">the Colorado Center for the Blind</a>, and <a href="http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=5761&qid=1373110" target="_blank" title="Link to the Louisiana Center">the Louisiana Center for the Blind</a>. During the world meetings in Orlando I was talking to blind people from around the world, and sometimes answering the questions I was asking twenty years ago during my adventure to Disneyland. It was truly inspiring to
witness staff and graduates of our training programs here in the United States passing on their experience and skills to blind people all around the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">When you come right down to it, the world is small. Yet, in the National Federation of the Blind we work daily to make sure that there are no artificial limits on the horizons for blind people. By sharing our experience and learning from other blind people around the world, we find new ways to expand those horizons. It was a great experience to host the world meetings in the United States for the first time. I hope that in twenty years when I look back on this experience, I will still feel the closeness to others from around the world that I experienced last month. I know that with our continued work together, the National Federation of the Blind will still be expanding the
horizons twenty years from today.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Sincerely,</span></p>

<h3><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Wichita State University Agreement</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">We, along with Emily Schlenker, a blind student, have entered into an agreement with Wichita State University (WSU) to improve opportunities for blind students attending WSU. The agreement resolves concerns raised by Ms. Schlenker with faculty and staff at the university. <a href="http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=5762&qid=1373110" target="_blank" title="Link to WSU agreement press release">More information can be found in the press release</a>.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Space Available Program Update</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The National Federation of the Blind of Texas commented on the inclusion of language that would allow more veterans with disabilities to participate in the Space Available program in the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) by Congressman Mac Thornberry, chairman of the House Committee on Armed Services. You can read the comments at <a href="http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=5763&qid=1373110" target="_blank" title="Link to NFB of TX comments">https://nfb.org/national-federation-blind-texas-commends-congressman-thornberry-support-veterans-disabilities</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">A letter of thanks to Representative Thornberry will give him support when he seeks inclusion of his language in the final joint House and Senate bill when the conference committee meets in September. A webform has been created to help with simple thank you notes. It can be found at <a href="http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=5764&qid=1373110" target="_blank" title="Link to thank you webform">https://nfb.org/thank-you-thornberry</a>.</span></p>

<h2><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><strong><a name="Braille"></a>Braille Certification Training Program</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Under a contract with the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Library of Congress (NLS), the National Federation of the Blind administers the courses leading to NLS certification of Braille transcribers and proofreaders.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Starting in January 2015, all new students in the literary transcribing/proofreading courses began learning under the rules of Unified English Braille (UEB), and students who had been working in the older version of the course were switched to the new version during the year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Successful completion of these rigorous courses requires a great deal of time and effort on the part of the students. We congratulate the following individuals who earned certification in literary transcribing during the month of June 2016, achieving certificates under the rules of Unified English Braille:</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Colorado</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Misteer Greene, Burlington</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Arletta Joyce Shenfeld, Mechanicsburg</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The updating of the Nemeth and music courses to align with UEB is ongoing. Congratulations to the following student who achieved certification in the current version of the Nemeth transcribing course during the month of June:</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Missouri</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Ernest Phillip Crider, Jefferson City</span><br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For transcribers and proofreaders who were certified prior to the adoption of UEB and need to update their credentials, a test was developed to allow them to earn a letter of proficiency in UEB, which is an add-on credential to an existing certificate. As of this writing, 160 individuals have earned this letter of proficiency in Unified English Braille from the Library of Congress.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The tenBroek Library welcomes all researchers interested in the non-medical aspects of blindness. Our collections cover areas including the education of blind children, disability law and policy, the history of attitudes toward the blind, and literary works by blind authors. We provide facilities for using our collections, regardless of format, to both sighted and blind readers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The tenBroek Library looks after the history of blind people in many ways, including collecting NFB literature, maintaining the Federation's archives, and building our collections of archival papers and published works. We also recognize that much of the history of the blind resides in the lived experience of the blind, and we are committed to documenting those experiences through our Oral History program.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Researchers can access the holdings of the tenBroek Library through our fully accessible online portals. <a href="http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=5765&qid=1373110" target="_blank" title="Link to The Cane Tip">The Cane Tip</a> is our database for finding aids that describe the manuscript and archival collections held by the library, including the personal and professional papers of NFB founder Jacobus tenBroek, the papers of past NFB President Kenneth Jernigan, and the NFB Institutional Archives, as well as several smaller collections. <a href="http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=5766&qid=1373110" target="_blank" title="Link

<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">We have all the typical and ordinary range of talents and techniques, attitudes, and aspirations. Our underlying assumption is not—as it is with some other groups—the intrinsic helplessness and everlasting dependency of those who happen to lack sight, but rather their innate capacity to nullify and overrule this disability—to find their place in the community—with the same degree of success and failure to be found among the general population. </span></p>
