How Tech Helped a Blind Man Become a Lawyer and Judge: the Literacy Journey of Dana LaMon (Edited)
In celebration of World Blind Day (October 5) and World Usability Day (November 11), listen to this remarkable story about a blind man who become a lawyer and judge long before the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted in 1990. He learned to pilot an airplane too. How did Dana LaMon overcome naysayers to achieve his dream?
What is this series about?
In the "Literacy Journeys with Linda" video series, you will hear from a wide range of people who have made literacy, that is, the act of reading and/or writing, a vital portion of their lives. Many people around the world are illiterate, and I hope this series can bring awareness to this issue and spark change. Why? Because Literacy is Liberation! It takes you higher.
