Greetings: 

 

I am sharing with you information about a video composed by the National
Federation of the Blind in response to a Breakfast Club episode that
perpetuates the misconceptions about blind people. This is not a commentary
on whether or not you need to own a gun or about gun control, but the belief
that blind people are incapable. Listen and let's see if we can start a
discussion on our list serv! 

 


A Breakfast Response to Low Expectations:


Every day, the National Federation of the Blind raises the expectations of
blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people
and our dreams. An example of low expectations was displayed in a segment of
The Breakfast Club radio show regarding a news story of a blind man named
Terry Sutherland, from Indiana, who acquired a gun license but felt that he
shouldn't have been because he is blind. The Breakfast Club agreed with him
and began to perpetuate misconceptions about blind people. We address those
misconceptions in a video featuring national board members, Jim Marks and
Shawn Callaway, and Federationists, Danielle McCann and Anil Lewis.

video, "Serving Up the Truth: A Breakfast Response on What It Really Means
to Be Blind."
