Helen Keller Speech

Helen Keller speech reenactment at a Lions International Convention at Cedar Point, Ohio, June 30, 1925 . Click on Show More to view the text of her speech.
Dear Lions and Ladies:
I suppose you have heard the legend that represents opportunity as a capricious lady, who knocks at every door but once, and if the door isn't opened quickly, she passes on, never to return. And that is as it should be. Lovely, desirable ladies won't wait. You have to go out and grab 'em.
I am your opportunity. I am knocking at your door. I want to be adopted. The legend doesn't say what you are to do when several beautiful opportunities present themselves at the same door. I guess you have to choose the one you love best. I hope you will adopt me. I am the youngest here, and what I offer you is full of splendid opportunities for service.
The American Foundation for the Blind is only four years old. It grew out of the imperative needs of the blind, and was called into existence by the sightless themselves. It is national and international in scope and in importance. It represents the best and most enlightened thought on our subject that has been reached so far. Its object is to make the lives of the blind more worthwhile everywhere by increasing their economic value and giving them the joy of normal activity.
Try to imagine how you would feel if you were suddenly stricken blind today. Picture yourself stumbling and groping at noonday as in the night; your work, your independence, gone. In that dark world wouldn't you be glad if a friend took you by the hand and said, "Come with me and I will teach you how to do some of the things you used to do when you could see?" That is just the kind of friend the American Foundation is going to be to all the blind in this country if seeing people will give it the support it must have.
You have heard how through a little word dropped from the fingers of another, a ray of light from another soul touched the darkness of my mind and I found myself, found the world, found God. It is because my teacher learned about me and broke through the dark, silent imprisonment which held me that I am able to work for myself and for others. It is the caring we want more than money. The gift without the sympathy and interest of the giver is empty. If you care, if we can make the people of this great country care, the blind will indeed triumph over blindness.
The opportunity I bring to you, Lions, is this: To foster and sponsor the work of the American Foundation for the Blind. Will you not help me hasten the day when there shall be no preventable blindness; no little deaf, blind child untaught; no blind man or woman unaided? I appeal to you Lions, you who have your sight, your hearing, you who are strong and brave and kind. Will you not constitute yourselves Knights of the Blind in this crusade against darkness?
I thank you.

    I'm just curious if you knew that Helen Keller had other teachers before the women that "taught" her. They were all fired by Helen's rich parents because they said she was un teachable. She lost sight and hearing at 19 months. Her cognitive functions would not be like ours. Her reality was not like ours. This is an inspirational story. But its all more than likely a lie a women told so a rich family would pay her money.

    @@lynnbaker2336 should have said "cognitive thought" but, sadly no. Ask anyone in a field that deals with mentally developed delayed children. There's so much learning that goes on in children before the age of 3. You remove the top 2 ways that we process information and so many fundamental concepts are going to be missed. Look into feral children if your interested. Its somewhat on the same topic. Kids with all the senses but nobody to provide the stimulus. Not sure how all cases go but the few I've read about the kids never learn to speak even after being removed of whatever horrible situation they were in. Its interesting but depressing stuff.

    “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Helen Keller “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” “Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind; it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.” She truly is an inspirational woman, growing up both blind and deaf, but she had an amazing teacher who never once gave up on her, always with her every step of the way. Miss Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller are one of a kind, but also a woman of valor.

    These two ladies are fierce as hell. Lots of hard work and commitment to conquer what everyone else thought were "limits" that no one could possibly get past.
