20211026 - People Of Vision Week 20. - 130001.

October 27, 2021

Hello, ACB history buffs. We have completed our ACB history and are embarking on a new adventure! We will be reading the book, The Unseen Minority: A Social History of the Blind in the United States, by Frances A. Koestler, copyright 1973 and 1994 by the American Foundation for the Blind. It is available on BARD and BookShare. Before we begin the reading discussion, let's talk about other books we may wish to read and discuss our thoughts and feelings regarding the awesome event we held with our current ACB president, Dan Spoone, and our past ACB presidents, Paul Edwards, Chris Gray, Mitch Pomerantz, and Kim Charlson. We revere and send our warmest regards to Oral Miller, who was not on the call but is certainly not forgotten.
