Reflection, Revolution, and Race: A Growing Understanding Within the Organized Blind Movement

Mark A. Riccobono, President, National Federation of the Blind, July 2021
Tonight, we, as blind people organized in a civil rights movement, come to our own moment of reflection. We cannot remove ourselves from the nation in which we live. We cannot deny the influence of the pressures, perspectives, barriers, and inequities of that nation, a nation that is not broken but simply unfinished. We can find hope, opportunity, and safety in knowing that we have created something meaningful within our nation.
