Helen Keller
Although blind and deaf, Helen Keller became a scholar, author, 
speaker, advocate for social justice, and one of the founders of the 
American Civil Liberties Union.
*
We all admire those who go on to lead productive lives after being struck blind or deaf in 
early life - but what can we say about Helen Keller, who was left both blind and deaf 
after a childhood illness, but went on to become one of the most famous writers, activists, 
and public speakers of her day?
Helen Keller was born in 1880, long before the arrival of the technology and training that 
can help blind and deaf people today. She was trapped in a private world, unable to 
communicate or understand the world around her.
Helen’s family turned to an expert on helping the deaf - Alexander Graham Bell, the 
inventor of the telephone. He recommended a special school where highly trained 
teachers could be hired to help girls like Helen. And that’s how Anne Sullivan came into 
Helen’s life.
Sullivan began to teach Helen words by tracing symbols on the girl’s hand. Helen didn’t 
understand at first, but one day when Sullivan poured some water on Helen’s hand and 
then traced the letters for “water,” the young girl made the connection.
That’s when Helen’s remarkable brain and determination kicked in. Once she realized 
that there was a way of communicating with others, she learned at an incredible rate. 
From simple words to complicated ideas, Helen Keller absorbed knowledge like a 


sponge.
Accompanied by the loyal Anne Sullivan, Keller went to school and soon excelled as a 
student. She was even accepted by a top university and became the first deaf and blind 
person to ever earn a bachelor of arts degree. But that was just the start. She was now 
reading Braille in several languages, and became very interested in politics and social 
issues. Despite her challenges, Keller set out to make a difference in the world.
Soon she was deeply involved in many issues - voting rights for women, better treatment 
for the disabled, anti-war campaigns, and social justice. She wrote salient letters to 
newspapers, gave rousing speeches, wrote bestselling books, came up with all kinds of 
ideas and slogans, and even helped found the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). 
She was like a whirlwind!
Helen Keller’s brilliant mind and inspiring story won her many fans and a high profile 
worldwide. She was friends with people like author Mark Twain, and met with every 
American president who served during her lifetime.
Above all, she inspired others not to let physical challenges stand in the way of achieving 
their full potentials.
