Helen Keller
H
Eturuvie Erebor
elen Keller was an author,
political activist, and lecturer.
She has been described as the
most famous disabled person
of her time. She was deaf and blind following
an illness she contracted when she was about
nineteen months old. Communication from that
time onwards became a huge challenge which left
her frustrated and caused her to become in her
own words, an incorrigible child. At age seven, she
met with Anne Sullivan who would become her
teacher, and she quickly changed from an unruly
child to an obedient and disciplined child. Only at
this stage was she fit to learn. Anne Sullivan taught
Helen Keller to read and write in Braille and Helen
went on to attend the top schools and colleges of
her day. From there she became an advocate for
those in similar circumstances and an inspiration
to all.
