Helen Keller

After recently learning about Heather Whitestone, a student recommended we add Helen Keller to our Activist Timeline. This student even brought in a chapter book about Helen's life, which we have been reading to the class.



Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880- June 1, 1968) was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. Born in Alabama, Keller became deaf and blind after an early childhood illness. She was the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor's degree.
