# Are you a history buff or simply interested in the history of the American Council of the Blind? We are traveling through the book, People of Vision: A History of the American Council of the Blind, by James J. and Marjorie L. Megivern, copyright 2003 by the American Council of the Blind. This book is available in braille, large print, and on thumb drive through the ACB Mini Mall, as well as on NLS BARD and BookShare. Please join us in the middle of Chapter Two, 1947, and we will hopefully finish Chapter Two this week. There is so much involved in our history.

Thinking about where we have come from and how far we have come, there is so much to celebrate. It all started in Boston in 1775 and, while nary a man (or woman) is still alive, we have continued to thrive and celebrate what they accomplished. Come share your fondest 4th of July weekend memories and plans for this one. Whether it was at summer camp; a clam bake on your favorite beach; a pool party; or visiting one of our national parks; we all have at least one fun way to mark the beginning or the summer season. For me, it was fireworks and bon fires on the beach. What’s yours? We may even jog your memories with some golden oldies and favorite classic movies. Just come and enjoy yourself with us.
