  1.  NFB Belief Message: (Will be read by Nathalie Martin)

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 .

Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspiration of all blind people.
