March is Women's History Month - Helen Keller

There are so many resources and stories about this courageous woman.  From picture books, to primary resources actually written by Miss Keller, readers are able to learn so much more about diabiities, historical times and the determination of a teacher and her student.  Check out some of these titles and activities - from the American Foundation for the  Blind,

Take  a "road trip" to visit her birthplace in Alabama.  A rare 1930 video shows both her teacher and the student, not sure of its authenticity, but interesting none the less.

    Love the cover on that last one.

    PS: I certainly felt like a "celebrated friend" when I was in your kitchen :)
