#Quote by Helen Keller

“If I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist, I should be undone. I should seek in vain for the light that does not visit my eyes and the music that does not ring in my ears. I should beg night and day and never be satisfied. I should sit apart in awful solitude, a prey to fear and despair. But since I consider it a duty to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery worse than any physical deprivation.” Helen Keller

#Quote by William E. Lightbourne

Hold my hand and walk with me. 
We must break the back of social inequity; 
We must empower every individual with a disability 
To live with dignity in an inclusive society. 
– William E. Lightbourne
