Keller. Helen Keller and the “Knights of the Blind”
摘要
Helen Keller, born in Tuscumbia, Alabama on June 27, 1880, is one of the most remarkable figures of the twentieth century. Despite her dual disabilities (blindness and deafness), she overcame enormous obstacles to become a notable writer, speaker, political activist, and the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. Her life story, inspiring people around the world, is a testament to the value of education and the indomitable human spirit. On June 30, 1925, Helen Keller delivered a speech at the Lions Clubs International Convention. This pivotal moment not only highlighted Keller’s extraordinary achievements, but also laid the foundation for a long-lasting partnership between the Lions Club and the global fight against preventable blindness.
