On July 26, 2016, the Journal of Blindness Innovation and Research
(JBIR) published a special edition dedicated to the proceedings of
the General Assembly of the International Council on English Braille,
which took place at the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan
Institute on May 22-26, 2016. In his introduction to this important
edition Dr. Fred Schroeder, newly elected president of the World
Blind Union and chief editor of JBIR, stated: "The proceedings of the
2016 ICEB General Assembly is the single largest consolidated source
of contemporary information about Unified English Braille (UEB) in
the English speaking world. The papers reflect the thinking and deep
personal commitment of the world's foremost authorities on English
braille and their determination to insure that braille continues to
be the foundation of literacy and equal opportunity for blind people
everywhere."
