America's First Bible for the Blind 1848

from Celebrate the Bible Hosted by Francis Douglas

Samuel Gridley Howe, the first director of the Perkins Institution for the Blind, advocated for the education of blind students in 19th-century America. He developed the Boston Line Type, an embossed reading system, and supported the establishment of schools for the blind. Howe's legacy includes the first Bible printed in America for visually impaired individuals.
