deaf

This would have to be taken 1923 or 1924 after this new building replaced original building.

Donna Fano Thanks, Donna!

This photo is very beautiful as well. It captures the era very nicely. Her dress is so neat and I love the flowers. I have never seen a picture of the actual Helen Keller. She is lovely.

Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to graduate from college. She began writing when she was 11 years old! She was an extreme socialist and her political views were very influential.

thank you for sharing this photo. very nice.

Beautiful face and features, with an exquisite profile.

Helen Keller is one of the most influential woman in history, she is a mark of inspiration and hope for everyone thinking they can't accomplish something. This photo sticks out to me because it shows Helen Keller in a different light, it shows the feminist side to her. A lot of people just see Helen Keller as a deaf and a mute, but this picture shows her in a dress and she is wearing flowers to symbolize a soft, womanly side to her.

amazing ,as usual. inspiring.

Many people don't know that Helen Keller became deaf and blind at the age of 19 months because of an illness. She wasn't born with it; therefore, it was that much more frustrating for her when she obtained those disabilities. That was probably a cause of her being so uncooperative as a child. Anne Macy Sullivan, her teacher, is shown in the picture by her side. She helped Helen embrace her situation and learn to live to inspire others for years to come. After researching, I strongly believe she is one of the main reasons why Helen became so famous. For more information on Anne Macy Sullivan, visit the link below: www.afb.org/AnneSullivan/

Great group of photos!

This is a very beautiful photo. Helen Keller is seeing the Library of Congress in her own way. I wonder what she is picturing in her mind.

i love this photo.. very classic
