On this day, 27 June 1880, disabled American author, socialist, and lecturer, Helen Keller was born. The first deafblind person to receive a bachelor’s degree, she was also a member of the Socialist Party of America and the Industrial Workers of the World union, fighting for women’s suffrage, workers’ rights, and socialism. She continues to be an inspiration for many disabled and non-disabled people around the world.
Here is an interview she did entitled Why I Became an IWW: https://libcom.org/library/helen-keller-why-i-became-iww https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1155713617947120/?type=3
