Helen Keller (1880–1968) was an American author and activist who became deaf and blind at 19 months old due to an acute illness, likely scarlet fever or meningitis. Despite losing her sight and hearing, she learned to communicate through manual spelling, Braille, and speech, becoming the first deafblind person to graduate from Radcliffe College.👩🏻‍🎓 #fy #zackdfilms #viral #deaf #blind
