>Baltimore, Maryland (December 23, 2008): The National Federation of the
>Blind, the oldest and largest organization of blind people in the United
>States, will premiere a video promoting Braille Literacy in Times Square
>in New York City beginning today. The video will appear once an hour for
>ten days, airing on a large screen on 42nd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues.

>Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind, said:
>We are pleased to show a video of such importance in one of the largest
>venues in the world. There can be no doubt that the ability to read and
>write Braille competently and efficiently is the key to education,
>employment, and success for the blind. Despite the undisputed value of
>Braille, only about 10 percent of blind children in the United States are
>currently learning it. This video will announce the need for equal
>opportunities in education and employment for the entire nations blind to
>a countless number of people over the next ten days and will work toward
>our ultimate goal of reversing the downward trend in Braille literacy.
