1. Symbols of Courage
Many of the significant civil rights victories in the last century have come from within the
United States of America. From the gloom of recent reports from that country comes a truly
inspirational story of two Americans, Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller, who urged for
reforms in opportunities for the blind and underprivileged. On June 1, 1968, Helen Keller
died after living an extraordinary and optimistic life.
