United States Secretary of Labor to Address Blind Americans

R. Alexander Acosta to Speak at National Federation of the Blind 
National Convention in Orlando

Baltimore, Maryland (July 6, 2017): The Honorable R. Alexander 
Acosta, Secretary, United States Department of Labor, will address 
the annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind in 
Orlando on the afternoon of Friday, July 14, at approximately 2:55 
p.m. His topic will be "Building the Twenty-First Century American 
Workforce: Disability Does Not Define Your Employment."

"The low expectations that society has of blind people, as well as 
inaccessible workplace technology and other factors, still make 
finding and retaining meaningful employment one of our primary 
challenges," said Mark A. Riccobono, President of the National 
Federation of the Blind. "We are delighted that Secretary Acosta is 
coming to our convention to share the administration's thoughts on 
this topic with the members of America's leading organization of blind people."

About the National Federation of the Blind

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise 
the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create 
obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life 
you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
