On the Need for Usable Videos for Deaf-blind Students and How It Can Be Met With Captioning and Description
The Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP) is a national non-profit that is
federally funded to serve as a free-loan media library of accessible educational videos
for K–12 students who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, visually impaired, or deaf-blind.
DCMP recently conducted interviews in order to determine how accessible videos are
used in the classroom with students who are deaf-blind and what other options need to
be included in order for these videos to meet the widest need possible.

Blindness and Black History: One Leader's Perspective
When Carter G. Woodson created the observance of "Negro History Week," which later became "Black History Month," he inspired African Americans to protect and uphold their history, which not only includes written history, but also oral history and the preservation of special and unique artifacts. Our history is our genesis, our present, and our path to the future. It explains how we came to be, who we are, where we are today, and where we are going tomorrow.
