> A bronze statue of Helen Keller was unveiled Wednesday at the US Capitol. While politicians praised Keller's work campaigning for people with disabilities, they ignored the radical political involvement that plays another key part of her life story. Keller identified as a pacifist, socialist and member of the Industrial Workers of the World. We speak with Keller biographer Kim Nielsen.
