Oldie but a goodie! I won't pretend to be an expert on Deaf History as I grew up HoH and utilizing spoken language BUT I'm always striving to learn something new and this is a great opportunity! THANK YOU to photonovic, heritageasl, asl.at.home and livthatsnotcool for the catch and corrections on my initial post. 🤟🏽A few facts were incorrect and misleading. I am human and always learning. 🙏🏽True communities uplift, support and hold each other accountable - I love this and am quite grateful🙏🏽 

Share one of these to your stories to spread awareness for Deaf History Month. Why is it so important to learn about Deaf History? I've got 5 reasons for you! 

1. Understanding Deaf History can help develop empathy and respect for the Deaf Community. 
2. Learning about the struggles and accomplishments of d/Deaf individuals and communities can inspire and motivate. 
3. Knowledge of Deaf History can inform and shape current attitudes and policies towards d/Deaf people. 
4. Deaf History can provide insight into the development of sign language and other forms of communication used by the Deaf Community. 
5. Appreciating Deaf History can contribute to a more inclusive and diverse understanding of human experience. 

So, tell me, which of these facts didn't you know? .....
