The speaker in this address to the New York Association for the Blind is
Helen Keller. This speech took place on January 15, 1907. The speech, Helen Keller gave, was about the blind people consequently showing them that they can be strong and not be apart of the weak and poor. Helen wants to show the world that they can be treated as normal humans, not as the weak and poor of this country.
Helen starts out by saying that a blind man’s community plays the biggest role in his success or failure in life. “The State can teach him to work, supply him with raw materials and capital to start his business. But his fellow-citizens must furnish the market for his products and give him the encouragement without which no blind man can make headway.”-Paragraph
