She was born normal and lost her vision and hearing at 19 months old, at which point she developed a form of sign language with the six year old daughter of her family’s cook. By the age of 7 she knew 60 signs to use in her home, and this was before she ever met Anne Sullivan. So by the time Anne Sullivan started teaching her a standardized way to communicate, it wasn’t TOTALLY abstract to Helen Keller because she had developed very basic language skills.

She eventually earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and went to several Schools for the Blind. Apparently Mark Twain was an “admirer” of hers and he found someone to pay for her formal education. She had 12 books published. She died in 1968 (wow, recently). The president she met was LBJ, so there should probably be video somewhere, or at least photographs. I’m sure people are still around that met her, a documentary could totally be made.

Or atleast allow him to answer Kevin’s questions. Kevin talks over Mosier so much and throws away all of his arguments so quickly it’s very annoying. This has got to be the most annoying Smodcast thus far for me. Kevin, if you’re reading this, please, let other people talk, like your co-host.

Inadvertently hillarious (since it obviously is called “One”)
