Alice Cogswell was born August 31, 1805 and died December 30, 1830 at the age of 25. She was not born deaf but became deaf at age 2 from spotted fever. She was originally from Europe, probably London.Her father, Dr. Mason Cogswel, was an acquaintance of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. The two together had many talks about starting a formal school for the deaf. That school is now known as the American School for the Deaf.Nevertheless, Alice Cogswell, not her father, was the main inspiration for the starting of the American School for the deaf in Hartford, Ct.There are two statues of her, one at Galludent University and another at the American school for the deaf. She sits in the statue with Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet holding the sign for the letter A.Jason C.

Thomas Gallaudet did not create American Sign Language. He did, however, work with Laurent Clerc, a Deaf French educator, to establish the first American school for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1817. This collaboration helped spread French Sign Language, which influenced the development of American Sign Language.
If you are interested in learning about Deaf culture, I would suggest getting involved in your local Deaf community. There is nobody better qualified to help you understand Deaf Culture that a Deaf person!
People did not except deaf culture because they are open and willing to embrace all cultures. If the people you're referring to did not accept deaf culture, it has to do with the fact that they are deaf (to other's cultures).
"Deaf" refers to deaf people in the context of their language, history, culture, etc. "deaf" means anyone who doesn't hear.
No one person started the deaf culture. The culture of the deaf community has evolved as those without hearing have come together to bond with others who understand their way of life and issues that affect them as a whole.
Deaf Literature = a body of written stories, poems, songs and other genres which include Deaf characters, Deaf culture, Deaf identity and Deaf experiences in their work.
No, the actress Holly Hunter is not deaf. Holly Hunter is hearing impaired- she has no hearing in one ear, in deaf culture while she is not deaf she is not hearing either.
