Discover Remarkable Blind Individuals from the Past
ACBVA’s May Program Meeting

Have you ever wondered what life was like for blind individuals living in the U.S. more than 90 years ago? Join us for a special presentation by Peggy Chong, also known as The Blind History Lady, at the ACB of Virginia’s May program meeting.

Peggy has uncovered a rich collection of stories while researching the Harmon Foundation Award records housed at the Library of Congress since 1932. Through her discoveries, she brings to light the inspiring lives of blind Americans from decades past.

Come hear about figures like Dan Mahoney—a man who successfully hid his blindness for nearly 10 years—and many others whose stories of resilience and achievement will leave you inspired.

Don’t miss this fascinating journey into blind ancestry and history!
