![]() Helen Keller Century Magazine January 1905 page 454 (Image by (From Wikimedia) The Century Magazine, Author: The Century Magazine) Details Source DMCA | 128 years ago, in April 1887, 6-year-old Helen Keller had a miraculous breakthrough with her teacher Anne Sullivan--it was the day Helen suddenly understood that everything had a name. As Anne had done many times before, she spelled W-A-T-E-R into Helen's hand as water from the family's pump flowed over their hands, and Helen made the connection. Much of Keller's story is well known - less well known is that she was a socialist, communist sympathizer, suffragist, and she helped found the ACLU in 1918. |
