Born June 27, 1880, Helen Keller dedicated her life to breaking down society's misconceptions toward people with disabilities. She spent half her life working on behalf of the American Foundation for the Blind, a journey that began a century ago in 1924. The world has undoubtedly transformed since Helen first joined AFB, but her impact and legacy remain as strong as ever, even as we continue to battle some of the same social barriers that persist a century later.
Helen’s legacy has been front and center this year at AFB after we released the full-length documentary film Possibilities, which captures the impact of Helen Keller’s life through the contemporary voices of people who are blind and deafblind.
