She is from where i am!! I've visited her birth place many times and leave a flower or two when i go for respect. As a disabled woman, seeing someone from where i am do so much, its an inspiration

"I don't have a perspective on Helen Keller. She's--despite her disabilities--just another privileged white person." WHAT!?!?! Wow. I have no words. But Helen Keller does: "I ask nothing for myself, I am not among the victims of unjust laws. But with my whole heart I cry aloud for freedom that shall right the wrongs of all my sisters who are oppressed." - from her 1913 speech on supporting women's suffrage (speaking of history Anita Cameron never learned). Helen Keller used her "privilege" to help those without it. So, no, she wasn't "just" another privileged white person. She used that privilege in a life of selfless service for others. And I only have pity for anyone who does not understand that or have a "perspective" on Keller's life of humanitarian achievements. Why even give a platform to such an unconscious and biased view of Keller in a video on Keller's life? What a disrespectful bait and switch.
Now here's some fragility when someone simply states the fact that Helen Keller was a rich white woman. She was born on a plantation into a rich former slave-owning Confederate family that kept black servants (former slaves.) and supported the eugenics movement throughout her life. She lived in perfect comfort every single day of her 87 years. Sorry that fact hurts your feelings, I guess?
Helen Keller said, "A mental defective, on the other hand, is almost sure to be a potential criminal." when arguing that some babies don't deserve to have life saving procedures. She also notably never spoke out against the US eugenics policy of forced sterilizations on black people, native americans, disabled people, lgbt people, the mentally ill, poor people, etc. The other woman in the video says about this 'we need to forgive people when they make mistakes' and that Keller valued every life, when Keller never reversed her position on eugenics.
Like yeah sure, she ALSO did good stuff but what did she do to help the countless victims of the movement she supported her whole life? Where was that 'using privilege in selfless service for others' then? I don't know why you feel the need for a modern activist to have some positive, glorifying perspective on Helen Keller when she would've been fine with the activist being sterilized or dead.
@@MikkiManson13 That's some serious personal attacks and straw arguments, lol. My issue was with the characterization that Keller was "JUST" a privileged white person. Thanks for proving my point with your either/or analysis (either she deserves praise or she deserves judgment). And no, a person with a both/and analysis (she deserves praise and judgement--just like everyone else) is not "fragile." Nice try at gaslighting nuance, balance and critical thinking though. Not drinking THAT Koolaid. ;)
very obvious troll
See what your failing to understand that being white removes any redeeming characteristics that a person can have.

How she learned to talk and communicate is remarkable. When I saw her communicating with her hands with someone else’s and the fingers were moving so fast and she understood it, it’s unbelievable. She could have just been down and not wanting to do anything with her life but she decided to be a voice for the disabled community.
It’s almost like it was faked because that’s clearly impossible. Once you get that spell broken it’s so obvious 😂 with modern technology it’s not even possible to get blind and deaf people to understand anything, let alone develop their own political philosophies to give the government more power. It’s a tough pill to swallow at first because you feel dumb for believing it, but humans are just easily deceived, don’t feel bad.
That’s because it’s fake, every knows this now haha
She didn't, because she is not deaf.
@@anttikristian4060 you are delusional. prove it. back up your absurd conspiratorial claim with actual evidence. pretty sure i trust TIME a little more than a bot on CZcams.
How if she was blind?
i absolutely adored Helen Keller as a child. My Grandmother was my intellectual liberator. She tamed me.
When I was 7 years old I met this lady at the un United States Embassy building in New York City this was a class trip in the '60s I think it was 1965 the school went on a class trip to the United Nations building this woman gave a speech and then she brought out this lady and explained to the audience with the lady was and it was Helen Keller she spoke to her
That is incredible!!
OMGosh! That part with the disabled persons crawling up the steps & being arrested brought me to tears. I didn't know these things about Helen Keller, that's even more amazing than what I already knew.
Man I cried bawling when I saw them crawling up them steps like that I just couldn’t believe it. That really broke my heart they had to fight for something like that back in the day which should have been giving immediately no question ask man that is so sad this world is so evil. I just can’t believe they did that to them the nerve then they arrested them too smdh. Everyone is equal I don’t care who you is you are somebody and they deserve respect just like anybody else man that hurt my soul for real.
I cried over that insurrection too 😪
It was tough but they were strong and they achieved the changes that they wanted.
I can't even imagine being deaf or blind but the combination of them both this woman is truly a remarkable lady when she learned she wanted to learn and she did it the more she went the more she unstoppable
No she didn’t
Fascinating. One of those 10 minute gems that are so well done and inspires hours of research and learning. Thanks for the journey.
😆yes I learned so much in that 10 mins that I would have never know if I didn't visit this site TYSM
An hour's of fakeness you can't learn to read or write write books if you're completely blind and deaf it's all lies how did she learn all the words like the in out all those words without being able to hear them and she couldn't learn Braille if she couldn't hear

Helen Keller was anything but passive. Her tantrums before learning to finger spell and the speed with which she learned , her determination to get into Radcliff and graduate as valedictorian proved that as did her activism as an adult….
Yeah, I don't get why the lady suggested she was "passive" when a person like Keller can't be passive.
she fraud, she was used by anne sullivan she didnt know what was going on.
Helen Keller had a British accent. 😂
You’re being played.
She was deaf so she had no concept of how she sounded
Make sense she'd speak it as it's meant to sound then 😉
Helen Keller's family had money. If they were poor, I doubt things would've turned out like this. I've met deaf kids who were in multiple foster homes and never learned to sign or lip read.
*phewww…* “People need time to change and grow. We need to forgive people when they acknowledge their mistakes.” That is a profound message for today. For any time in history for that matter.
A Japanese Helen Keller truly respected and called him“my teacher.”
In 1937, Helen Keller came to Japan and visited Hokiichi's memorial house. She expressed her impression as follows: “When I was a child, my mother told me that Mr. Hanawa should be my role model. To visit this place and touch his statue was the most significant event during this trip to Japan. The worn desk and the statue facing down earned more respect of him. ”
Hokiichi became blind when he was 5 years old.
One summer night, a wife of a Samurai, read a book for Hokiichi. She found that he had tied up his hands together. Asked why he did so, Hokiichi replied, “Whenever I move my hand to get mosquitoes away, I tend to miss words of your reading. So as not to do that, I did this.”. He always studied with an attitude like this.

Helen Keller encouraged my love of reading. She was a truly remarkable woman. 💜
she was a fraud
Hellen Keller could not read. Just think about it, it’s impossible
@@bradvincent2586 it's called Braille 🤷♀️
@@bellejour559 please tell me how you understand the concept of braille without sight or sound. Tell me how you're gonna finger my palm until I both read as a fundamental idea itself, and read braille.
Helen Keller also encouraged my love of reading (: thanks for sharing 💕
I am glad for the ADA and I am not disabled. Those ramps come in handy when you where taking care of an old person who could not walk well- you need a ramp.
ADA also opened the door for frivolous lawsuits.
@@RocketmanRockyMatrix No it didn't, there's no evidence of widespread abuse of the ADA at all. This seems to be one of those things that tons of people think is true, but isn't supported by facts. ADA violations are also notoriously difficult for the disabled person to prove.
@MrSungolia Look up attorney Ted Pinnock. He filed thousands of frivolous lawsuits regarding the ADA. Destroyed alot of small businesses who were in compliance with the ADA. ADA needs to be reformed.
@@MrSungolia When you file a lawsuit, it can cost hundreds or thousands for a dependent to defend themselves.
@@RocketmanRockyMatrix
That's exactly what it means just because you are disabled doesn't mean you can't do anything or overcome or overcome your disability you have your disability your disability shouldn't have you sometimes we all go through mythical challenges but it is how we come out on the other side that counts
FYI, people don't "overcome" their disability, they succeed while still having a disability. The "overcome" narrative is harmful because it obscures the fact that the person is still disabled and needs support and accomadations, toxic positivity basically, as well as associating disability with weakness.
thank you to those that crawled up the steps of the capitol demanding respect... every person should get it without having to fight sm for it.
Colored woman said forget about Helen Keller what about me
Seems like she was asked to so...
I've grown up around her birthplace in Tuscumbia, Alabama. There's a yearly summer festival celebrated in her name here. And yet, we know nothing about her past the water pump..
To all those saying this is a hoax, why is everything a hoax that is too good or too bad, maybe your life is a hoax ?
I HATE when people (like Anita Cameron) say that Helen’s activism doesn’t matter at all bc she was white. Yes, she was a white woman, but that doesn’t mean that a) it wasn’t important that she fought for equality for disabled people and more importantly b) people who are white don’t deserve the same equal rights as those who aren’t. Many times I see black women, black disabled people, or black members of the LGBTQ+ community saying that them having equal rights matter more than white ppl who are part of that community having equal rights (and also they always talk abt how white ppl having the same rights doesn’t matter as much as black ppl having equal rights as if the the only races are European and African). I’m a white woman, and me having equal rights as men matters JUST AS MUCH as black women having equal rights. I’m also disabled, and SURPRISE!! me having the same rights as non-disabled ppl is JUST AS IMPORTANT as a white person compared to a non- white person. And the same goes for members of the LGBTQ+ community; those who are white deserve equal rights as much as those who aren’t.
I think she was just acknowledging it and giving her personal story I don't know if she was trying to say Helen didn't matter
@@khafkhaf8665 yeah it never felt like an attack to me more of a "keep in mind though".
I am so inspired by reading and coming to know about Helen Keller. I was reading this book called Success The Glenn Band Method.
Her story takes all the excuses away from people that complains all the time. Yes we all must help the special needs people all the time. Yes seeing them claiming up the stairs and crawling, man that just touched my heart. I am glad that they fought for their rights.
Haben. GIRMA IS ALSO Deaf- BLIND .. AND IS A LAWYER SHE is also Amazing. (The Woman speaking in the beginning in blue )
I don't understand why certain activists (whomever they may be) feel it's right to downplay the activities of other activists because of their color or social standing. Anyone who helps others to understand the inequalities of another group of people should be praised, not belittled for their physical makeup. Such a person who focuses on those things misses the point of activisim. Is it not to bring to light that which has been obsucured by any means necessary or through anyone?
What's that part in her autobiography were Martha Washington and her cut each other's hair. Sounds like she started out a pure brat. It's amazing how self-aware she was. And glad I took the time to really research her. So many references of her are made good and bad I just want to advocate.
i've written simple philosophy for a 30 years. I posted on my philosophy website in 2016,
"Although Helen Keller was considered blind and deaf, she actually saw and heard better than most.
0123 X 01 NOV 2016"
She was a communist.
Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters... Let's pray for our multiple learner intelligence got a place to strive in learning. I need help as teacher from community.
4:05 apparently Hellen Keller was privileged LOL
So much bullshit. As a bling deaf person from early childhood, she had no capacity to understand any of this. She was used by Annie Sullivan and others.
What proof do you have?
@@1Ci the burden of proof is on them. It has not been met
@@1Ci blind-deaf girl from Alabama talks with British accent.. give me a break.
@@1Ci so she spells out each letter by a hand action however when her teacher is supposedly talking for her she is speaking at a normal pase. If you were to spell out each letter with a movement you would not speak that fast. This is some evidence against her and yet there isn’t any evidence that she is communicating with anyone.
God needs you
Sadly, the disabled are 3rd rate citizens still. No one checks on us. No calls, no visits, nothing but loneliness of an extreme. We are questioned as whether or not we can parent. We make less than most often living with 950 or less a month and maybe 250 for food. We are given poor quality medical care and often experimented on without our knowledge or consent.
Fraud
ADA was not enough. i STILL have access denials and i am white, nobody helped me with anything , i had to figure it out on my own, i still do.
That crawl is epic. Wow.
🎉 🤩 🎉
Yo why did they use a lot of “special “people to vouch for her. it’s not helping there case I’m just tryna figure out if she faking.
...and you still won't learn history after watching this terrible, deceitful documentary. Can you please honor Keller's legacy by acknowledging she was a socialist? Terrible. This is no corrective of Keller's legacy, this is a betrayal of it and actively misleads about who she was - you say Oh she read Marx and corresponded with Eugene Debs but you //mislead the viewer// but not being open about Keller being a socialist? Wow. And then you just offend even further by saying she somehow wasn't radical enough? Some disability rights activists think we can pass things like the Americans with Disabilities Act and that's the solution - piecemeal changes that leave the larger systems of power and money intact. No,. Keller was actually fighting for real change for all people by ending the domination of the capitalist system which is at the core of oppression. She wrote a book called "How I Became a Socialist" and you won't even acknowledge that she was a socialist? And you claim this is the "corrective" to the previous false histories? This is absolutely terrible and deeply offensive as a betrayal of her legacy. Yes we need to stop portraying her falsely as history books have done but more lies is not the solution. She was a socialist, one of America's greatest socialist leaders. Respect her legacy by telling the truth about it. Thanks Time magazine owned by one of the richest and most powerful media monopolies in the globe, we get the message.
Recently I found there was al lot of great American socialist leaders in the past, some of them were very famous in history. Kids in future will memorize them.
Yes, perfectly surmised. A fraudulent facade portrayed by wealthy folks to scam the working class out of their hard earned resources. Exactly what every socialist leader ever was. What a miracle! Her legacy is deeply offensive, a special needs child taught finger games to make it look like she was a wonderwoman all while she was really just a pedestal for the ill conceived notions of a failed commie shitbag school teacher.
Like all socialists she was a fraud
Thank you. She was tremendously progressive and her Socialism was part of that.
Very interesting
Mullen’s new special brought me here
We're all being played here.
I heard about her in history books as a kid didn't think to much of her until years later when I saw her on the quarter and got interested as an adult
she is a fraud. she has a British accent if you ever heard a death person you would know this
@@JD-yx7be no. She doesn't have a british accent. And what does that prove anyway? If you want further diacussion on if hellen keller was a fraud go watch soup emporiums video, he does a great job breaking everything down.
@@oboe8970 Lol she has a British accent. have you ever heard a deaf person speak in real life? Her eyes also move following objects which people blind since childhood don't do
@@oboe8970 Stephen Hawkins is also a fraud. He was a vegetable who his handlers used a wireless text to speech like every phone today has. All of his books were ghost written. ALS only has a 5% 5 year survival rate and almost all of them lose brain activity if they live past that
@@oboe8970 watched a part of the video. at best she has poor vision and hearing but not death/blind. when i think deaf i think no sound at all, when i think blind i think no vision.
i never see people who advocate for racial equality also advocating for the disabled. there are some things about society even at the time and not understanding it.
Nicely done story, but why do people feel it necessary to grade or measure their trials and obstacles against others, rather than searching for genuine empathy. Why don’t we focus on building each other up more instead; it’s a happier and more fulfilling existence. We’ve become so narcissistic as a society.
I love how they say the “history of Helen keller” but start to talk about black injustice and paraplegics next time actually go on the title you have picked
I love how you're mad that this person explained the history of Helen Keller's beliefs and morals regarding equality, obviously ones that you don't agree with lmao
Stop the cap
The lawyer's voice is so soothing.
Not socials studies but tik tok😂
well, see, we were taught about Helen Keller the Social Activist. At least I had a teacher that had the intellectual curiosity to find out more about her and share that with us. I don't understand the poor black lesbian's disdain for Helen Keller, 'just being a white rich lady', because HK didn't sit on street corners expecting the world to come to her.
She also didn't read. Or write. She was called a cash cow. If i make a living pretending to educate my rich boss' kid, I'm gonna milk that cow for all its worth.
Ooo look at you
OMG it is TRUE 😳
I thought for once it would be a story that wasn't about racism and sexism, but instead focus on people with disabilities. But newp, they shoehorned in the usual fare. Eh well.
Is there any other example of a fully deaf and blind person from birth achieving what she did.
Taylor was RIGHT.
The holes in the story are legendary.
List them.
I didn’t learn anything about her
Isn't it lucky that her translator had identical views to her and she could communicate entire words even sentences with two taps? It's not that she was a puppet for her handler, oh no.
But she didn't, in fact one of her translator toned downed some of Keller's speeches. Also why is it hard to believe that two taps can mean a sentence? Some words when translated can mean a sentence. Also phrases and acronyms exist
Anne Sullivan, was non political. I dont get where these conspiracy theorists get these ideas.
That's because bro science lied to you.
@@oboe8970 wrong answer bigot. She was white therefore raycist and evil and part of the cis-temic patriarchy. Now that you've been fact-checked and debunked, maybe next time you will check your privilege?
@@moonbound6478 If all worldly knowledge you had access to came through touch over a very small section of your body, why would you waste 2 taps, the second easiest message, on a whole specific sentence?
This is laughable people come on, I know we like the story and want to believe but it’s a bad joke that we’re stupid for ever falling for. Let’s stop now though.
Greatest grifter in history
I thought she was a fraud but I'm doing research and she is not. Her teacher anne was really good with her and this story is really heart touching especially since she was blind and deaf she is a true hero and Queen " I'm not dumb now" - Helen Keller R.I.P ❤️
what kind of research did you do?
she is a fraud, her teacher took advantage of her to promote her ideas and become famous, Helen had no idea what was going on
@@Narko_Marko Exactly right!! Notice how nobody except for her teacher knew what she was saying and she couldn’t communicate with anybody else on the planet literally ever at any time!
Yeh, it's just mere coincidence that Helen Keller's political ideology was exactly the same as her tutor's. Just a coincidence bro.
@@user-og6hl6lv7p how about she kept writing and having opinions decades after her tutor died?
Yea nah I think it’s more likely she wasn’t that smart
In the movie- the words connected with the

It all connected with this
Great .
Then she began to try and say words
Such a water. L
bs how come she went real quiet when anne sullivan died
The fact that people today, in the age of INFORMATION, still fall for this lie is quite dissapointing
IKR
There is a video by soup emporium that goes into great detail why helen keller was NOT a fraud. I would seriously reccomend you watch it.

@@Narko_Marko big if true. I’m still watching the video but if you have any evidence to support this claim I’m interested in hearing more about it
@@BingBingTheClown it is impossible to trwnsfer the concept of capitalism through touch if the other person hasnt heard or seen anything ever. The woman that takes care of her is using her as a puppet for clout so more people hear her ideas.
@@BingBingTheClown The biggest thing that tells me she was a fraud is that it was told that she would communicate by basically spelling letters in short hand on her teachers palm, when doing interviews Helen Keller would be writing on the poem and her teacher would be translating but her teacher would be translating in a normal cadence at a normal speaking pace; how is it that she is spelling words by their individual letter but you’re talking at a normal speed? That would be typing 10-20 characters a second and that’s impossible.
Not to mention only one person in history was ever able to talk to her directly, her family spent millions of dollars going through private teachers to assimilate her into society and every single one of them said that it was absolutely impossible and there was no way for her to understand what was going on. Until miraculously this politically motivated teacher comes along and somehow is able to be the only person on the planet to communicate with her and isn’t able to teach this gift to any other person
@@apenguingames4305 yeah after finishing the video it definitely feels like a Koko the talking Gorilla type situation.
Why would someone dislike this😭😭😭
Because it’s obviously true that she couldn’t have possibly understood almost anything, let alone developed her own political philosophy. Think about it. How would you teach her the property of being wet? Or what an “idea” is. If you listen to anyone break it down, it honestly becomes immediately obvious. There’s no human who is blind and deaf today that has anywhere near her ability to communicate. It’s just not possible. People in power lie, it’s just that simple.
Because it's a hoax lol

what are you crying about....they always included the activist part of her life as well
Looks like they made it up the steps just fine without ramps.
My great Gma is hellen Keller. She wrote books and the things you’re taught are not true.
The “black disabled lesbian” is extremely hateful
Why? I adore her
@@violetblossom50 She completely denounced Hellen Keller on the basis that she was privileged and white. She’s totally ignorant of historical context and recognizing that times were different so you can’t apply the same things from today.
No, her social justice stands are *not* what's important. Those were large social movements and many people took such stands, although rather clearly in the radio era only a minority. The impulse to make *that* the Helen Keller Story is a measure of how perverse modern virtue signaling has become, and how irrelevant. What was once courageous (and it was) is now mere conformity, and has even become devolutionary. Some of her causes, such as the IWW, were just bad judgment. And note that all of her stands were all *corporatist*, except her overcoming her physical disabilities. Racism is corporatist, as is anti-racism in the post-TV era. All of these movements which were once morally ascendant have now descended into mere abuse. Being anti-racist is not synonymous with virtue. It once was, but not in this era. It's just another form of corporatism.
Seriously confused what you mean by corporatist? She was an outspoken socialist, it's the revisionist narratives about her including this video that portray her in a more moderate light in order to make people satisfied with the status quo. Similar to how modern depictions of the life, philosophy and politics of Martin Luther King Jr are often spun into a narrative that portrays him as far less radical than he was.
@@NoahParkes Most people think corporatism is about business because incorporation is one of it's technologies of organization. But corporatism is more general than that, and it involves the notion of class, race, gender, sexual preference, etc.. Any time you treat or organize a group on the basis of common characteristics that is supposed to act with a common purpose in some coordinated way, or has interests as a group that you're promoting, this is a form of corporatism. Look it up.
it wasnt her views it was anne sullivan’s views she didnt know what was going on.
@@NoahParkesanne sullivan’s views not helen’s
I mean... She's obviously a fraud. She can sense people coming into the room? Understand what people are saying by touching their lips while they speak?
How is it not a million times more likely that she's just a hoaxer?
@Shineful Finds and Designs she didn't know she was hoaxing anyone. Her teacher did. Her teacher did it for the fame and money.
