- A few more rare Helen Keller film clips, from over the years. TRANSCRIPT: Helen Keller writes vivid newspaper accounts of suffragette activities for the United Press, Strongly supporting this and other social movements using her own best talent. Words. The mechanics of writing are never easy for her. Anne Sullivan must read back to her every page she types. But publishers will buy Helen's writings, and she is the main support of the tiny literary household. She is unshaken when her campaign to prevent infant blindness caused by venereal disease evokes a furor. Her frank magazine article outrages the false morality of the day. The subject is Taboo. But she has broken Taboos before and she feels she must speak out. Mr. and Mrs. John Doe are shocked. But more important, health authorities are grateful. Symptoms of success begin to appear. A ladies group called the Sunshine Society is formed. Its purpose, to break through the stigma of sin surrounding infant blindness. To rescue blind infants from under privileged homes. Shielded from view in darkened cradles, these children were being denied the proper care which would afford them a chance to grow into whole personalities. Increasing numbers of reassured and probably relieved parents cooperate. Spring time Washington, the office of Harry Hopkins. The Works Progress Administration has established a project of making talking book machines for the blind. Five thousand of them have been made. And these talking books are available to the blind people of America, through the lending libraries established by the Library of Congress. They may borrow these books in the same way that you borrow yours.It is the most comfortable way of reading that I know of. And may well be envied by those of us who have sound sight. The person who suggested this project and is responsible for it is Miss. Helen Keller. Who is not only the outstanding sightless person in America. But one of the republics foremost citizens. Talking books are compact, and they bring pleasure to thousands in America. While in another country books take on a different meaning. A ranting, hostile Joseph Goebbels finds books dangerous. They give men Ideas. Open men's eyes. A great honor for Helen Keller, her own writings breath too much of freedom for the Nazis. They too are burned. Consigned to the flames which soon engulf the entire world. While Helen's campaign for the blind is finally bearing fruit, one of the more colorful American minorities is about to give high honer to another successful campaigner. President Calvin Coolidge will never be allowed to forget that he once truly was Chief of State. Coolidge gives Helen Keller his personal check for the new foundation for the blind she is helping to form. And Mrs. Coolidge, a teacher of the deaf before her marriage is anxious to lend her name to any effort that will assist deaf or blind persons. When she was only twelve Helen gave a tea party and raised two thousand dollars for the blind. Now she raises hundreds of thousands in a year. Her influence and friendships extend from the White House and the first lady to the humblest tenement of the quiet blind. Famous or unknown, all are proud to know her. And by her side on every occasion, Anne Sullivan.
It is not all work to be sure. Helen has always been able to feel vibrations. And when the vibrations are from the violin of Jascha Heifetz she feels at once sad, joyous and lonely. Here she receives President Eisenhower's "Committee to Employ the Handicapped Award." Given by the blind Major General Melvin Maas, in the presence of 2 blind Girl Scouts. An example of participation in life by sightless persons made possible by her work. Assisted now by Mrs. Evelyn Seide, who succeeded Polly Thomson upon on her death,. She meets her tenth U.S. president. With all of them she has campaigned hard to improve the lives of disabled persons everywhere. At Washington DC's Gallaudet College, the worlds only institution of higher learning for the deaf. Students are taught by sight how to pronounce words they cannot hear. As you watch these two, consider the difficulty of teaching a blind, deaf person to speak.
Teacher speaking: "Persistence". Deaf student speaking:"pertistance". Teacher: "Persistence". Student:"Pertith". Teacher speaking: Look at my tongue, it's pressed gently against my teeth. "Persistence". Student: " Pertistence " Teacher: "Persistence spells success". Student: " Perzistant". Weeks later comes the test. Student: " Good morning Miss Binman". Teacher: Good morning Carol. Nice beads". Student: "Thanks". Teacher:" You've been practicing? " Student: "Yes". Teacher: " Let's try your favorite sentence ". Student: "Persistence spells success". Teacher: "Good" Student: "PERSISTENCE SPELLS SUCCESS!" Teacher: Let's look at it in the mirror". Student: " Success. SUCCESS! ".
WOW. at 5:14 the deaf lady is crying. I bet its so very emotional to go through this. amazingly PERSISTANT!!
Yes....
It must be very frustrating sometimes for deaf people when they learn to speak.
Thanks for stopping by!
Best wishes!
The teacher could have been a little more encouraging. It's unimaginably hard to learn to speak without hearing.
...and no wonder! At no time is the tongue pressed gently upon the teeth. After 'per,' it's the s-s-s-s-s sound. I'm quite sure the deaf student was quite capable of producing THAT sound...
I want to jump up and cheer for the Gallaudet student Carolyn when her persistence pays off. That would not be an easy sentence for a person learning English to pronounce correctly, even if he or she were not deaf. Thank you for sharing these videos. So inspiring.
@@ginseattle I'm glad you enjoyed the little video.
Yes...the sentence is a bit of a "tongue-twister". Especially if you try and repeat it a few times, fast. lol :) Hope things are going well for you. Warm regards!
This proves that feeling is more important than we give it credit for.
A miracle in its self for Ann Sullivan to have come into Helen Keller’s life. Started with money and connections. Then intelligent Helen steps up to help all especially the poor children, what an example of kindness, love and respect for all. Wish I could have met her and teacher. Ann
As someone who had to go to speech therapy till 16 I can imagine what they go thru.
I was taken out amd adopted from an abusive home at at 4. My parents never took the time to teach my twin or ingow to talk so we weren't able to very good.
I finally got to where I only had trouble with it's. My sessions stopped at 16. I continue to have to work on it very carefully.
But I have gotten better and tell from old videos of 6 years ago that have gotten better.
It is very frustrating sometimes when you need to tell someone something quickly and you can't make them understand.
I thank God for my blessing that I am as good as I am now and dont have very many "huh"s coming my way anymore.
Persistence spells success 💙
So true. :)
Helen was a pretty amazing person, any way you look at it. Thank you Anne for taking all that time with her. I may be wrong, but I believe you knew Helen was gifted all along. :)
God bless Helen Keller. A very distant cousin of mine who makes me always feel so weak. EXCUSES ARE USELESS
Helen Keller; everyone will remember your name.
Don't forget Ann sullivan neither.She was her savior.
Talk about turning your disability into an asset! Helen was incredible!
Can you imagine having a blind baby due to venereal disease, and the stigma it would have carried, not so very long ago? People would think it was punishment from the devil for having venereal disease. Bacteria and viruses have evolved along with humans, and morality has nothing to do with it. Makes me ponder what things we humans do or have today that, in 20 years, we'll look back on as mistakes in thinking. Depression maybe? Obesity?
K. PacificNW Helen Keller had Scarlet fever. That’s what caused her to go deaf and blind.
The start of the audiobook. And they are the most comfortable way to read!
I really appreciate Helen Keller's persistence in her life struggle🙏
I ❤️ Hellen Keller since I know her story long ago✨✨✨
I remember watching this movie in high school back in the early 90s and I can't remember the quote that Helen Keller wrote but it's definitely a word of affirmation.
Lol there were times in high school when the teacher would just play a VHS movie just because they didn't have a lesson plan for that day, but I would never really pay attention to the movie and I am sure no one else did either.
My son is visually impaired and he’s 6 and I am always concerned about his future because of his disability but after seeing her it gives me hope for his future because she is both blind and deaf and she has been able to achieve so much and when my son is older I am going to show him videos of her so he knows everything is possible!!!!
Helen Keller was a wonderful gift to the host. So much good she did for others. If this you wrote I've never heard of, I'm very happy about your amazing video. Wishing you a very good time!
breaking taboos. Helen was a wonderful rebel of the best kind! Helen accomplished so much! what an inspiring person! persistence spells success! ... humbling :o)
Yes she was but Anne too..Ann is her spiritual mother and is the woman that set Helen free.
Incredible. Compassion is the true evolution of life forms.
This lady was amazing.
Hi Alex.
Thanks very much, my friend.
Glad you like it.
Have a nice Thursday!
She’s adorable!
😮 wow! Such A inspiring and heartwarming true story👌
About these two precious souls💅 Helen Keller and her fairy godmother miss Ann Sullivan💖 RIEP👣
We are most thankful and inspired for all the hearts you both have touched around the globe 🧐
That all may not be lost with Faith,Perseverance and determination 🇹🇹🕊️
A Japanese Helen Keller truly respected and called him“my teacher.”
In 1937, Helen Keller came to Japan and visited Hokiichi's memorial house. She expressed her impression as follows: “When I was a child, my mother told me that Mr. Hanawa should be my role model. To visit this place and touch his statue was the most significant event during this trip to Japan. The worn desk and the statue facing down earned more respect of him. ”
Hokiichi became blind when he was 5 years old.
One summer night, a wife of a Samurai, read a book for Hokiichi. She found that he had tied up his hands together. Asked why he did so, Hokiichi replied, “Whenever I move my hand to get mosquitoes away, I tend to miss words of your reading. So as not to do that, I did this.”. He always studied with an attitude like this.
Such a beautiful view of history my friend!
Welcome back dear Helen, thanks for your selflessness and dedication, wonderful and precious clips, thanks for sharing. Blessings to you always. ♥♥ ~ Maggie ~ ♥♥

I'm glad you enjoyed the little video. Thanks for the nice comment...it means a lot.

I saw part of this on A&E many years ago. It's called "Helen Keller, The World I See."
Thanks so much. I have to say that I was extremely ALSO impressed with the young deaf woman with her speech therapy. Persistence.
+Robon Brooks Hi Robon,

I have to admit I didn't know that much about her except what I learned in school which wasn't much (I moved a lot and didn't go to the best schools). Helen came from an effluent family who was able to afford someone like Anne Sullivan to teach her everyday? I understand Helen was difficult at first to handle because her parents let her have her way because they didn't know how else to handle her! Thumps up! Please check out my latest video! :) Thanks!
Hi Meg....
Thanks for the visit. Yes... a lot of people don't really know that much about Helen Keller's life, as an adult. Most people are familiar with the movies that were made about her childhood. Yes...I think her family was fairly well-off. But not exactly wealthy. See you soon! ;o)
If the student at the end, is smart enough to learn from that teacher , she could learn from anyone.
This is a great share. This rare documentary film footage probably is just one of relatively unknown efforts of Helen Keller to help the disabled!
A MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you!

+Mars1721 Hi Mars.
It's nice to hear from you, my friend!
I hope you have a lovely year ahead. Best regards!
Helen Keller has not gotten the recognition she so richly deserves.
Is this sarcasm
I believe she has.
Thank you Helen for this new tribute to great Madam Keller. It is always very moving.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2016 for you and your family. With all my friendship.

Really wonderful video 👍👍👍 Thank you 🌞🌞
The main support of this tiny literary household? Is this why her family/helpers objected to her marriage?
She served God's purpose to man,as did Anne,who gave every fiber of her soul to help Helen.

+Remembering Elvis Presley Hi Angeline,
Thanks for the thoughtful words! Wishing you a great new week ahead!
Sincere regards!
That seems like a recreation, not actual footage. This is from 1954? The real Helen Keller would have been 74 years old at that time... I can't say this is fake due to that, but it casts a lot of doubt as to what we are seeing here.
Hi Dale. Thanks for your perceptive comment. Helen lived from 1880 to 1968. She died just short of her 88th birthday. Some of the early film clips are from a 1919 movie about Helen, so she would have been only 39. When she meets President Coolidge's wife in the 1920's clip, she would have been in her 40's. She was in her 80's when she met President Kennedy in the early 60's. At 4:30. She remained active in public until she suffered some strokes in the 1960's. This video has some clips that come from a 1954 documentary.. I should have worded the video description more accurately. Sorry if it seemed confusing. I'll correct it Right Now. :) Hope things are going well for you. Please accept my best wishes! :)
@@IamHelenKeller Ah! That does explain some things! Good to know. Thank you for the clarification!

@@IamHelenKeller There's this stupid conspiracy theory going around now, that she didn't really exist. It's just a bunch of dumb trolls trying to see how ridiculous of a lie that they could get people to believe.

Hello Helen, your channel is absolutely amazing. I remember reading Helen Keller as a little girl in elementary. Looking forward to your other videos. It is an honor to have your support. Thank you soooo much, see you later. =o)
Thanks so much for the warm comment....It means a lot.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Warm Summer Wishes!
+Helen Keller You're welcome, see you later :o) Have a great Summer!
you know at first I thought that was Helen at the end but then I realized she would never say a sentence that quick so that clearly wasn't her
+Taylor Actually, she was pretty fast. Not every word was easy to understand, but she did amazingly well. Here's one of the few clips of her speaking: ua-cam.com/video/8ch_H8pt9M8/v-deo.html
Wow amazing channel 👍 thank you so much 😘
They just took blind babies from poor families???? Humanity is such a fickle flock! We’d freak out nowadays. Back then it was considered “the right thing to do”. Crazy.
"...outrages the false morality of the day..." that's interesting
Matt W Pretty strange, huh?

Thanks for the nice comment.

I feel that the wrong conclusion would be that accomplishment of high degree is somehow a reason to denigrate those who achieve less. One cannot assume what achievements an individual has done. Imagination of the positive is a creative force. And most, actually perhaps to the highest percentage, do not have access to the subconscious in the manner to know what achievements they are capable of or, as physics dictates, have created merely by conception.
its very nice
Who says history is boaring
Nice video , I like it

Did you have a summarize for this video
If you read the video transcript, written under the video, it contains the words of the narrator. By reading the transcript and watching the video, you will understand the video. Best Wishes!
who was promoted her back then?
God has you in
“PERSISTENCE SPELLS SUCCESS.”
But Helen is an exceptional spirit nontheless for having the force of will to fulfill her purpose. We all do. But there are those who wish to capitalize on their work and deny them of the attendant liberty and security of deserved value for their efforts. And taxes that do nothing, even contributing to their own degradation. Helen was better than me in toletence of the men she met.
+Pete Jordan Hi Pete...

Can you summarize plz
شكلو عليكي واجب😂

Beautiful video.Helen doesn' t inspire pity but respect and admiration. I love her and i must admit that i sometimes envy her .We live in a world so noisy and unquiet that i sometimes would like to be DEAF. Sorry but i 'm serious.
Hi Frenchie. Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed the little video. Yes...the noise of the modern world is often very distracting. Although I believe that Helen Keller once said that if she had the choice of being blind or deaf, she would choose to be blind." Because the deaf are so isolated from those around them". I hope things are going well for you. Best wishes!
+Helen Keller Yes, though many of us fear going blind more than going deaf, from a developmental standpoint, blind kids are far less isolated in the sighted world than deaf kids are in the hearing world.
But if you were deaf you would wish you could hear.I believe Helen said if she had to chose which sense she could have back she would chose hearing.I would rather have sight over hearing.
