Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Disability History, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Hi Penny, We just added the photo to your group. If you don't mind, there's an easier way for us to receive invitations to share photos with groups. Navigate to the photo you want us to contribute. Below the comment box on each photo page, there is a link that reads "Invite this photo to...". Clicking that opens a drop-down for groups you administer that will auto-fill the comment box. We then receive a neat little button to contribute. Thanks for your interest and comments! The Smithsonian

Oh, okay, cool, I'll do that from now on.

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/
