About this listen
Long before Annie Sullivan broke through the barriers that isolated and prevented a six-year-old deaf and blind child from communicating with the world, she had overcome what many see as insurmountable obstacles herself. A child of Irish immigrants, born into a life of poverty, legally blind by the age of five, illiterate till the age of 10, and committed to the asylums of Tewksbury Almshouse, she educated and freed herself.
In this book, a fictionalized lecture and interview from 1904, you will hear firsthand how this inspirational teacher, on March 3rd 1887, met a six-year-old blind, deaf, and mute child named Helen Keller and found her purpose. Together, their inseparable relationship transformed education forever. And the world took notice. Mark Twain once wrote, “You are a wonderful creature. You and your other half… Miss Sullivan, I mean. It took the pair of you to make a complete and perfect whole: Helen and Teacher.”
