--Helen Keller wrote to eight Presidents of the United States, and received letters from all of them—from Theodore Roosevelt in 1903 to Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965.
--Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to earn a college degree. She graduated from Radcliffe College, with honors, in 1904.
--Helen Keller was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama, on June 27, 1880, as a healthy baby. Before her illness, she could walk, say a few words, and had a friendly, spirited personality. At the age of 19 months, she caught a fever and as a result of it lost her sight and hearing.
--In a famous historical moment, Miss Sullivan led Helen to the water-pump, pumped water onto her hand, and simultaneously spelled out the individual letters, W-A-T-E-R. After many repetitions of the word, Helen realized that the individual signs represented the letters that made up a word that was the name for the thing water, and that other things must also have a name.
--In 1888, when Helen was ready for formal schooling, Miss Sullivan went with her to the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston and in 1894 they moved to the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf in New York. Miss Sullivan attended classes with Helen, interpreting the lessons for her by tapping the teachers' words into her hand, and transcribing books into Braille.
--In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.
