[stylist] History, Heroes, and Authors

[Angela fowler]

John,
	I'm not sure if there are books which are uniquely appreciated by
blind people in the way you mention. As for a book on the history of the
blind movement, have you read WALKING ALONE MARCHING TOGETHER? It is a
history of the NFB, from its beginning to 2000 or so. It also talks about
the quests for independence of blind people in earlier centuries, which I
find very interesting.

Hey, all:

I have some questions for you to have the pleasure of answering.

I've been trying to find books on the history of the blind community, but
without much luck.  Can you recommend some titles?

Who are the biggest legendary figures or heroes of the blind community?

Who are some of the blind authors that are celebrated and highly esteemed in
the blind community?  Has anyone written the Great Blind American Novel?
What are some of the classics in the blind literary canon that are found on
the shelves of almost every blind person's home?

Your answers will be most helpful!

John
