June 7: Robert Smithdas

Transcript Today we remember Robert Smithdas, American educator and poet considered the first deaf-blind person in the United States to earn a master’s degree! ---- Hello and welcome to the Disability Daily Podcast! I’m your host, Katie, and over the past couple years, I’ve worked on a 365-day calendar that recognizes different folks and key moments in disability history each day of the year. I’m turning this into a quick daily podcast, and I’m excited to share this with you! If you’re committed to learning more about disability and accessibility, please subscribe to the podcast on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify and share with friends. See the Disability Daily Calendar (work on it is always ongoing!) --- Learn more: 2017 Robert Smithdas, and William B. Wait induction Song: "It's Kinda Beautiful" by Water Mirrors from Epidemic Sound
