   4. National Federation of the Blind Belief Message: Martin Gallegos,
Board member 1

    The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members
and all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
