Celebrating #DeafHistoryMonth. "Linda Bove was born on November 30, 1945, in Garfield, New Jersey, to deaf parents. She majored in library science at Gallaudet University and received her bachelor's degree in 1968. She debuted on Sesame Street in 1971 as the character Linda the Librarian. She brought sign language and Deaf Community issues nationwide into thousands of living rooms. Her role on Sesame Street continued until 2003, now the longest-running role on television for a deaf person in history. Bove also brought American Sign Language to the world through her Sesame Street books. One was Sesame Street Sign Language ABC with Linda Bove, which taught children how to sign words and letters. Linda is such an inspiration for all Deaf actors and actresses. Despite being in an industry run primarily by hearing people, Bove stayed Deaf and retained her culture and values. She always signed and successfully introduced the Deaf and Deaf Culture to families nationwide." #LindaBove #Ses...
