NAD Presidents 1880-2003
A narrative history of the life and times of the presidents of the NAD from 1880-2003. Fascinating stories of the struggles to protect the civil rights of deaf people seen through the eyes of past NAD presidents. It is commonly said that the NAD came into existence to fight for the rights of deaf teachers and deaf administrators, to fight for the proper education of deaf children, and to preserve sign language. But that does not tell the whole story. There were already organizations and publications promoting the rights of deaf people and defending their use of sign language. You will learn how the NAD became a national voice for deaf and hard of hearing people. Whether you are a history buff, NAD supporter, educator or someone just interested in the deaf and hard of hearing community and Deaf Culture, you will find that this book is a “must read”.
