Early life:
Helen Keller was born June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia Alabama. When she was 19 months old, she contracted what might have been scarlet fever or meningitis. The disease caused her to become deaf and blind. By the age of six, her family sought help from a Doctor Who put them in touch with Alexander Graham Bell (inventor of telephone who also worked with deaf children). He recommended the Perkins Institute for the Blind, and a former, visually impaired student, Anne Sullivan, began working with Helen.
Political views:
In her adult life, Keller was an activist, and member of the Socialist Party. She became a well-known author, and worked in support of the blind and deaf. She was a feminist and campaigned for women's suffrage, and worker rights. She openly supported human rights, and opposed child labor, and capital punishment. Keller also stood in opposition to war. She was a founding member of the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), and in the 1920's, donated hundreds of dollars to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).
After a series of strokes in 1961, she spent her final years at home where she died in her sleep June 1, 1968.
