    The Deaf President Now movement in 1988 has been characterized as one of the most significant moments in the history of Deaf people. From March 7-13, 1988, Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. was the site of a historic protest against the appointment of yet another hearing university president. It was early in 1983 when the 4th university president, Dr. Edward C. Merrill, Jr, was stepping down that he himself promoted the idea of a deaf president. The idea didn’t truly catch on until a few years later when a group of faculty and students formed the President 's Council on Deafness (PCD), which was an advocacy group who felt that many of the deaf students needs were unable to be met with so many of the university’s administration being hearing. This group, along with many others, both within the university and without, worked tirelessly to make their wishes known to the Board of Trustees who were in charge of the selection process in 1987-1988. Although two of the three finalists for the position were deaf, ultimately the Board decided to go with the one finalist that was hearing, Dr. Elisabeth Zinser.…

    "The Colorado Institute for the Education of Mutes" was founded by Jonathan R. Kennedy in 1874. Jonathan Kennedy had previously served as the steward of the Kansas School for the Deaf in Olathe. Kennedy opened the school on April 8, 1874. It started with only seven students; three of them were Kennedy own children and added six more during the course of that year. Also, its first location was a house in downtown Colorado Springs. The house was rented for $50/month. The student population rapidly outgrew the space available and with a donation of ten acres by the founder of the city of Colorado Springs, General William Palmer, the school moved to its current campus in 1876.…

    Mark starts his story by talking about his mother’s natural birth. He was born in Pennsylvania to his deaf parents Don and Sherry Drolsbaugh. Mark was born able to hear and learned to talk and know a little how to sign because of his parents. This all changed when he was in first grade. Mark began to experience significant hearing loss. His grandparents were informed and Mark was taken to different doctors, audiologists, and speech pathologists to try to fix his deafness. Since Mark was not completely deaf, his grandparents held on tightly to what hearing and speech their grandson had left and to find ways to improve it. All the negativity that Mark dealt with towards being deaf, made him also feel negative towards his deafness. His Grandparents believed the way to improve Mark’s hearing was for him to keep attending school with children who could hear, because if he were to go to a school that would sign and help him accept his deafness it would “ruin” Mark’s chance at being able to be “fixed”. School was difficult for Mark because his classrooms contained more than twenty students and the information he had to learn would only go over his head. Mark would wear hearing aids, and because of this he was also ridiculed and made fun, because he was different. Mark would get into fights and have report cards saying that his behavior could be improved. Mark’s grandparents made a smart move and had Mark transfer to Plymouth Meeting Friends School, PMFS for short. It was a small school with two teachers and eight…

    On a Saturday night I went to an outing for school, expecting it to be boring even though we were going to a bowling alley. I walked into the building slowly and almost walked out before anyone could recognize me. I was very nervous all day about going to be introduced to the Deaf community. I stayed in a small group with people from class by the end of the night I met some amazing people. Learning about Deaf culture and actually seeing it is not all that different; the Deaf were so willing to teach us new words and tried their best to communicate with us.…

    Have you ever felt God call you to do something, and yet brush it aside as though it was meant for someone else? I became enchanted with American Sign Language in high school, when I befriended a Deaf group of students. I now realize I was fascinated by the language because, unbeknownst to me at that time, I am a visual and kinesthetic learner. Any time I saw Deaf people or Sign Language Interpreters in the community, I couldn't help myself but to watch them. By the time I was a mother of two I knew I wanted to be fluent in the language, although finding the time seemed out of the question. After four children and seventeen years of marriage the door to my future career was opened. My marriage had ended and I was responsible for providing a financially stable home for my children.…

    As a kid we look forward to high school. We could not wait for the fun of making new friends, having more freedom, and discovering things we had no idea even existed or that would ever be relevant to us. What we did not expect was all the confusion and difficulties that came with adolescence. Now try to imagine how even more difficult adolescence is for a child who cannot hear.…
