Celebrate AFB's 90th Anniversary

This year the American Foundation for the Blind—the organization to which Helen Keller dedicated her life—is celebrating 90 years of expanding possibilities for people with vision loss. Join us in commemorating the landmark victories that have taken place for Americans with disabilities since our founding on June 28, 1921.

AFB's Rich History

	Milestones in disability history—we've been there from the start. Review some of the most significant accomplishments in AFB history.
	The woman who led the way: Helen Keller—the disability-rights icon who worked for AFB for 44 years.
	Talking Books Exhibit—After developing the Talking Book in 1932, AFB continued to record books and information for people who are blind or visually impaired for over 75 years. This innovation more readily brought books and information to people with vision loss.
	Anne Sullivan Macy: Miracle Worker—An online history dedicated to the life of Helen Keller's teacher. Macy and Keller both worked for AFB and traveled the country advocating for those with vision loss.
	Helen Keller Kids Museum—An online gallery that brings Helen's remarkable story to life for the next generation.
	The Unseen Minority: A Social History of Blindness in the United States—This comprehensive history of blindness in America from the 1920s through the 1970s was commissioned by AFB, and published in 1976.
