Helen Keller

An extraordinary American author, lecturer, and activist, Helen Keller overcame being deaf and blind after a severe illness at 19 months. Born in Tuscumbia, Alabama, her life changed in 1887 when Anne Sullivan became her teacher, introducing her to communication through tactile signing.
Keller’s breakthrough came when she connected the word “water” to its sensation, unlocking her ability to learn language. She went on to advocate for the rights of disabled individuals, women’s suffrage, and social justice. Her first autobiography, The Story of My Life (1903), details her remarkable journey.
Keller co-founded the ACLU in 1920, authored several books, and travelled extensively to inspire millions. Honoured with numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, her legacy as a beacon of hope and resilience endures. She passed away on June 1, 1968.
