- Quite a rare material.
Helen Keller, the American author, political activist and lecturer, whom I don't have to explain much about, and her instructor and lifelong companion, Anne Sullivan, appears in a Vitaphone newsreel from 1930. In this footage Sullivan shows the way how Helen Keller learned to talk. The final line of this footage, "I Am Not DUMB now!" is somewhat touching.
I know this footage have been shown on lots of more recent materials, but I was little bit surprised that nobody uploaded this before on YT except some clips, so I upload the full-length version.
Unbelievable. Annie Sullivan deserves to be remembered as a legend, even saint. That woman single handedly gave Helen the gift of a glorious life, whereas she more than likely would have ended up wasting away in some institution, if not worse.
What an incredibly moving story, and it's so touching to think how much work she put into given a fellow human being happiness.
Exactly what I was thinking. You said it better. I have loved Annie Sullivan since was 8 or 9 and first read The Story of Helen Keller and other books and stories.
Helen Keller's teacher, in my opinion, is the most underrated genius in American history. People credit Babe Ruth for taking baseball to a whole new level, Albert Einstein for taking physics to a whole new level, and Ludwig van Beethoven for taking music to a whole new level. I believe Anne Sullivan to be the genius that took teaching to a whole new level.
you mean most underrated con artist?
@@xintimidate Why do you call her a con artist?
@@Ari-jm6xx Because they've never replicated it with anyone else. Show me a fully deaf AND fully blind person who can speak...not utter a noise, but speak.

Helen Keller was amazing. I have admired her since I was a child. However, as I got older, I realized She would have probably been institutionalized if Anne Sullivan had not been hired to teach her. Anne stayed with Helen her whole life, got her through college by teaching her everything the professors said and helping her with everything she needed. I think Anne Sullivan should get as much praise, maybe more, then Helen. She was an amazing teacher and a loyal friend.
Agree
I just read Miss Spitfire and it really shows the often overlooked force of nature that Annie was.
I don't know two women I admire more. Both the student and the teacher, extraordinary, brave, remarkable, determined, and brilliant!
I never cease to be amazed by this moment, and by the great success of Helen Keller's life!
I actually really admire this teacher more and wonder why she does not get more credit.
@@lizabennett7979 she deserves a momument for such achievement 👏 not everyone can teach a deaf, blind, and mute person to speak.
God bless them
Two amazing people right there. To an earlier commenter: No, Helen was not "parroting", after learning the symbols, she learned they have meanings, the movie portrays it beautifully. This video explains that she made a connection between the symbols/words and sounds/vibrations. That's the astounding beauty - she was able to make sense of the world.
Any of you making fun of this: you do know that Helen Keller graduated from Radcliffe College (Harvard) & was the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.
yeah!!
Xander Taylor she was an amazing speaker, very powerful and expressive, well beyond any modern speaker today. She spoke of the human condition, I believe she was a genius.
Evil person
sure she did. lol
Yeah
Helen Keller was amazing.I know she can see and hear again in heaven.God bless her.
She was not dumb in any sense of the word. I have always found the story fascinating and I've always wondered how she taught her how to speak. Amazing.
Dumb is a term meaning you cant speak. I think thats what she meant
Yes exactly.
*****
She was a mute (dumb) when she was younger, but learned to talk. So, she was dumb, but learned to talk.
+Julinhaaaa2 The word is not used that way any more, really. It's an archaic use.
+Julinhaaaa2 I didn't know about the origins of the word "dumb", but saying it nowadays is taken more like in an offensive way, just like using the term "moron" which was clinical before popular use.
No color. No sound. Basically, you're trapped inside your own body. A prisoner inside your own mind. She's much braver than I. Can you imagine how scary it must have been for her in the beginning? Not knowing what was touching you or even what you are?
My bad for ya know 10 years later. But she couldn’t see or hear since she was 19 months. I doubt she remembered anything. But if she did get to an older age and then lost everything she probably would’ve hated it like you would
I love how happy Helen looks when she says the sentence at the end, and what a powerful sentence it is for her: "I am not dumb now." Wow. Helen should be an inspiration to everyone, regardless of whether or not they have a disability. She was truly an amazing woman. And Anne Sullivan--what an incredibly dedicated teacher. Anyone who's even THINKING of going into the teaching profession needs to learn a thing or two from her before they're allowed to get their teaching degree, I say.
She was an amazing woman. Such a sad plight she was handed in life, and to accomplish what she was able to is nothing short of a miracle. Her caretakers throughout her life were truly angels for helping her like they did. This is very touching. Thank you for sharing it.
It was sad that she went through what she did but I almost wonder, if she had kept her sight and hearing, would she have become just another house wife and mother or would she have accomplished all that she did anyway. I think when she was able to overcome her obstacles, she was able to push for more of an education than what girls and women normally received back then. Education was not that important for girls back then as most would not go on to have a career.
I wish most people had an ounce of what Helen managed to overcome in her life time and what Anne had in her heart.
This video clearly demostrates the patience for one human being for another. God bless you Anne! I cannot describe how talented the pair of you are. Truely a saint !
Helen is the true image of what hard work and determination can accomplish! I'm 19 and i can't imagine life without being able to see my friends and family and not being able to listen to my music, but Helen enjoyed life to the fullest and loved music and the company of others and fought for what she believed in. She was a hell of women! R.I.P.
This was amazing! Look how happy she is when she says "I am not dumb now!" Beautiful and inspiring. Made my day. :)
Helen and Anne have been two of my heroes since I was very young, and I have NEVER seen anything like this before. THANK YOU so much for uploading!!!
Helen Keller was a genius.
Ann Sullivan figured out how to teach her. THAT is genius. Helen was hungry to learn, understandably
We must teach children the way they CAN learn - not expect them to learn the way we wish to teach. The American system of education is BORING. Children learn best by watching and doing and playing and moving. American school have become little more that conformist indoctrination centers. I left when they wanted all teachers teaching the same thing, the same way at the same time and they discouraged teachers using imagination. If the teachers are bored, my gosh, what must the students feel?
I have taught my son so many things by allowing him to watch and then DO. We also teach students many things they will never use while neglecting the things we ought to teach: how to keep a house, do laundry, cook meals, have and keep a budget, SAVE money, balance a check book, how to grow and preserve food, and how to be good fathers and/or mothers, how to SURVIVE if times get tough, and the worst is that American public schools have failed to teach children to THINK FOR THEMSELVES. If we do not teach students to QUESTION EVERYTHING, then we have failed to educate them. JMO.
Wow I have never seen this before thanks for uploading! I learned about Helen Keller as a child when my mom gave me a book about her life, written for children. I have since read The Miracle Worker, and have seen both versions of the movie, with Patty Duke and Melissa Gilbert playing Hellen. I've also read most of her autobiography. She was such an inspiration!
I'm smiled like a Cheshire cat when she smiled at the end. Gives you a drop of hope on your parched mind in these dark times.
I was thinking of her and went to Wikipedia and from there I found this video. I'm amazed at her life thank you for posting this I'm in awe of her.
She is such amazing woman and an inspiration for the rest of us when we think we have obstacles to overcome.
Obviously Helen Keller learned to speak, one of many amazing accomplishments she achieved for a woman who had EVERY obstacle in her way. It would be like us learning to speak by creating the alphabet!
One of my favorite Helen Keller quotes" Never bow your head, hold it high...look the world straight in the eye"
i'm trying hard but still can't figure out what can trigger any correct living human being to hit dislike button to such an inspiring video.
Agreed. Probably ignorant little teenagers.
L Burns Please, don't stereotypes all teens. Do you know that most trolls are actually 30+ of age?
I can't understand why people hit the dislike button on interesting videos like this
No because shes a fraud
@@tre1750 No doubt man
Thank you very much for uploading this footage. Helen Keller was the name of my house years ago at school but unfortunately we were not taught about her.
Truly inspiring, teacher and pupil.
WOW!!! So AMAZING that Helen was able to learn to talk with no hearing capacity since she was 1 1/2. And to be able to write with no.sight. I remember watching The Miracle Worker many years ago. When my daughter was in high school she chose Helen as a topic for a paper she had to write. We made a braille ABC chart on a piece of cardboard using Elmer's glue to make the correct dots. Thank you Anne for spending your life ensuring Helen was able to live hers.
Two thoroughly amazing people who came together and did something miraculous. The inspiration of this story will never fade.
Thank you so much for uploading this video! I am a Speech Therapist working with children with Cochlear Implants and women like these are such an inspiration for ppl of my profession. When times are difficult it gives you strength to carry on.
Greetings from Greece.
Amazing and beautiful beyond ALL WORDS. What is conveyed in that simple phrase epitomizes the greatest parts of humanity and civilisation. There are two parts to this story. The teacher - a person of colassal talent and insight, and the student - a person with strength and courage beyond most of us, striving to obtain something most of us take for granted. People like this change the world forever.
This video is amazing. I admire Helen and Annie tremendously. This is the first video I have even seen of them, it moved me to tears.
the impossible is possible thank you helen and anne
My grandmother told me of when she was 7 or 8 years old, Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan came to her school and put on a performance for those who had bought war bonds. Anne played piano and Helen sang The Star Spangled Banner with her hands on the piano to feel the vibrations and she kept great tone, what an inspiring image.
The father wanted to do everything for Hellen and Annie Sullivan would get FURIOUS with him when he'd help her. I know as a parent I always want to fix my child's issue but I think of Annie when I'm about to do something I know they're perfectly capable of doing AND GOD BLESS HER FOR IT. She is the reason Hellen had a real life. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
very inspirational. Helen never gave up her dreams of being normal, even though in others' eyes, she wasn't. In her own "eyes", she felt as if she was normal, and as if she could see and hear the world around her. It is truly magnificent.
This is fantastic! Annie was a saint and Helen was extremely intelligent! Thank you for posting this!
Her smile after she said "I am not dumb now" fills me with awe. It's so inspirational! You can see it light up in her face.
That is really incredible. I still can't fathom the intelligence and persistence of both Keller and Sullivan. Two of the most inspirational people to have walked the earth.
I remember seeing this on TV somewhere. It really is a wonder how this woman and this teacher together overcame so much together! These two had to have formed a lifelong bond. Seeing her in the footage just makes me want to strive for better in my life. Praise God for her!
This is really inspiring and really cool! Helen is a genius. Anne Sullivan is a really good teacher. I think we should appreciate both of them a bit more than we do now. This also melted my heart :
wonderful. I had no idea there was actual video of either of them, let alone them together showing how they communicated. simply inspirational.
My inspirations for helping my son to talk again when all the mainstream doctors said he would never talk again. We have conversations now.
How is you son doing now? I hope he's better, God bless you and your family!
Phoebe, my son's progress is nothing short of miraculous IMO. We received no real help from the mainstream, except in times of severe infections, which of course were treated conventionally. I will be forever grateful to a hospital in Dallas (not the main children's hospital as they were abhorrent - they take tons of money from pharma, and the first words out of their mouths in the ER are always, "is this child up to date." If you tell them your child reacted dangerously to vaccines, they've been taught that is an impossible occurrence). The hospital we took him to for h is SECOND bout of meningitis (Thank you, Prevnar vaccine which caused immune system damage), were kind, considerate, listened intently to our son's story and never questioned his immunologist's life time medical exemption). The one we went to was wonderful, and saved my son's life through that infection. It was the kind of B. meningitis the pediatrician had promised me Prevnar would prevent. Just as she promised it would prevent otitis media, pneumonia, and bronchitis, but after I allowed that shot and then the following vaccine appointment he received four more shots - three of which contained THIMEROSAL, I watched my son have a stroke right in front of me, and of course they just began CYA and saying i was imagining things and pushed me out the door. He immediately lost ALL speech and affect. Then he began to have absence seizures often and several episodes of tremors with nystagmus several times a day. He began to get constant, repeat infections: otitis media (too many to count), bronchitis(too many times to count), pneumonia (nine times), and meningitis (twice). In addition, as i have written before, his body could no longer fight the bacteria introduced from an insect bite. he would get radiating staph from every bite site, and then develop cellulitis rapidly at each site - putting him at risk for MRSA, septicemia and death. He had constant lung/breathing problems and was diagnosed with 'asthma." He had sleep issues and severe belly pain with debilitating constipation. There were many ER visits for impaction. He developed "mega colon, which will be with him all his life and puts him at risk for bowel perforation. How many paretns do you know who: cannot let their seventeen year old play outside alone due to high risk for anaphylaxis? Or must ask their seventeen year old each day if they have had a bowel movement?
My son went into anaphylaxis one time He was bitten by only three fire ants, and that was all it took. It was the scariest day of my life, and I h ave had many worrisome, scary days. We must carry an Epipen with us wherever we go. He also could no longer break down certain proteins in food, so we had to change his diet, and I learned a new way to cook. I began changing his diet when he was two, so now he really has no memory of eating bad foods.
He had at least one infection (sometimes multiple) every two weeks for nine long years.
How is my son doing now? It has taken a long time. the seizures, tremors, and nystagmus dissipated in a little over three years. At two I changed his diet. Over a year's time we went gf/cf/sf. I also did a rotation diet for about three years. Since that time, i addition to gf/cf/sf, we started trying to be as "Feingold" as possible: no preservatives, no nitrites, nitrates, potassium bromate, MSG, hormones, or dyes. We rarely use any food that comes from a can.
No coated cooking pans are used to cook. We use stainless steal. there are more healthy ones to use, but they are very expensive. we do not cook or store food in aluminum foil. WE read all labels. We pay attention to what goes ON his body, as well. he wears cotton clothing, and we stopped using flame retardant clothing when he was very young, as he tested high in Antimony. We do not use aluminum-containing antiperspirants nor aluminum containing baking powder. we avoid aluminum like the plague (becasue it is a plague to the human brain and to the body).
We used an all natural, slow,low and safe protocol for detoxification of the body of heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum and lead. In vaccine injured children, especially those who have MTHFR gene mutations, their body's ability to clear heavy metals and other toxins is impaired, so they will pick up and retain more environmental toxins, as well.
And lastly, we figured out to pay attention to a function vaccines disrupt in a lot of children: the toxins and especially mercury disrupt adrenal function and can cause severe adrenal fatigue. so adrenal function must be supported. Low and slow, safe detox along with adrenal support worked miracles here. it lowered his infection rate, phenomenally reduced his "asthma", reduced anxiety, improved coping skills and emotional regulation. Once everything was in place: diet, supplements, detox, adrenal support along with therapies (PT, speech, and OT along with RPM to teach academics)- his progress just took off, reciprocal speech emerged, high level thinking skills such as the ability to negotiate emerged.
He will most likely never be "cured." Vaccines caused an immune disorder, a metabolic disorder, and of course, his lifelong intestinal damage. He may always be delayed veritably, socially, and emotionally - only time will tell. However, his intellect is intact. He is average to way to above average depending on subject. He has the most difficulty with the abstracts of reading comprehension such as inference, generalizing, and drawing conclusions - but he continues to make progress. He has Savant memory and calculation skills. If you give him a date, he can calculate in less than a minute what day of the week it was. His memories are tied to specific dates. He is way above average in math. Even his immunologist is amazed at his progress. He is beginning to learn to drive as his doctor told me he could. He is becoming more and more independent.
After cooking three meals a day from scratch for many yeas, he now cooks two of his own meals each day. He has become quite the chef. I pulled him from PS several yeas ago becasue they were intent on labeling him ID and writing him off. That coupled with his immune disorder and being in that environment caused frequent infections, his immunologist felt it were better he was home schooled. He was 10.10 years old when I pulled him. had him tested to find his present levels of performance so I would know where to start with him. I was appalled to find that at 10.10, his academic skills fell in the K-1 range. In home school, using ABA and RPM methodologies, he gained three years academically in only 18 months. Now he has gained eight years academically in only six. He had a lot of catching up to do. I have had no regrets about home schooling except it is difficult financially for a family to give up half salary so one parent can stay home and teach. but I am SO glad we decided to do this. Schools are throwing to many of these children away and merely warehousing them. They leave high school without being able to read, write, or compute simple math. If you do not TEACH them, then they cannot learn. We must not demand that children learn the way "we" wish to teach, but teach them the way they CAN learn - as Ms Sullivan did for Helen Keller.
He now has great hope of his own independent life. He wants to go to college and wants to find someone someday and be married.
The medical mainstream told me when he was three (and time and again) there was no hope. That diet and supplements and therapy couldn't work. That detox wouldn't work. They only offered prescription dope to mask his symptoms. they only offered psychotropic doping "to control him" they said. The only urged me to institutionalize him. We rejected it all - only using prescription meds for his infections and his breathing issues when we had to. We NEVER used psychotropic medications. We looked for the CAUSE and tried to heal that. Food, nutritional supplementation, detox, adrenal support., therapies. And of course, never vaccinate them again.
I doubt my son would meet the diagnosis for atuism under the DSM now. He still has delays. He is very social with adults and is beginning to socialize with peers. He is delayed emotionally, but the only remnant of "autism" I see is verbal stimming form time to time which is for him a coping mechanism. People often ASSume when he talks - due to his speech delay - that he is ID. It does irk me. People are so quick to judge books by their cover. I know NON-VERBAL people who are geniuses. People should be careful about judgement. but I can't fix society. He has learned to control it when in public, but he is free to stim all he wants at home. Everyone actually has a "stim." some chew their hair, we all have something we do repetitively when under stress.
If you are the parent of a vaccine injured child or one who has had that VI labeled as 'autism," I strongly urge you to read the book, "Fight Autism and Win." That little book saved the QUALITY of my child's life.
We have followed the protocol for six years. He has not had a single infection in fifteen months now and he has needed his rescue inhaler only one time in fifteen months. He is still at high risk for anaphylaxis, so we watch him like a hawk. With his immune disorder, there are no guarantees. He could always have some kind of relapse, but we are hopeful. His metabolic disorder is well controlled.
There is hope. I will never forget what we went through, and I will NEVER stop speaking out about vaccine injury and vaccine death. parents have every right to know BOTH sides of the vaccine argument and to retain the FREEDOM to be the ones who decide which risks they wish to take for their children.
I can't even imagine how hard it must be for you and your family, your son sounds ambitious and hopeful, thanks to you, you are a great mother :) Some parents just give up when something like this happens to their children but you, you did not, I'm sure your son will be a great and inspiring person one day because of you. I'll pray for your son, hope things will only get better.
You are a very kind and compassionate person. thank you for your kind words and prayers. his progress did not come without great personal and financial sacrifice, but I never thought I had any other choice than to give him back as much quality of life as I could.
And not just because I'm his mother, but this child is the most genuine human being I've ever met in my life. I am proud to be his mom.
I must tell you that at one time he kept saying he wanted to go to RIT in Rochester. days past and then he said, 'Mom, I've decided i don't want to go to RIT."
I asked him why and he said, "Because I would miss you and Dad."
And I told him, "You don't have to miss your dad and me because wherever you decide to go to college, if you feel you need us there and our support, we ill move there, too."
The mainstream told me my child belonged in an institution. I hope it's HARVARD, but whichever he decides is fine with us.
I'm reading "The Story Of My Life" which is a book Helen wrote when she was in her second year at Radcliffe College and it's good. It's so innocent and she takes great pleasure in describing mundane things that we sighted people take for granted....like trees, snow and the ocean.
this was truly amazing at that time and really the breakthrough for individuals born deaf and blind. simply amazing.
Their perserverance is not to be believed!!! Helen's life.. uncanny! Even most sighted, hearing people cannot achieve the scolastic credits she amassed, nor develope the dignity, fearlessness, and wisdom she did; her worth has no end! And it all began through the unwavering steely determination of one Miss Annie Sullivan. They BOTH are deserving of sainthood!
I first learned about Helen Keller when I saw the tv movie with Melissa Gilbert as Helen, and I remember that I cried when the "water" scene came, where Helen finds the mental connection between words that were signalled in her hand and actual object, people etc. I am still in awe of her (and Miss Sullivan of course)
When I was born in 1952 in Chicago Il until 1961. I was born both eyes had cataracts. When starting first grade told to sit near the back of class seating based on last name alphabetical. Could not see the black board clearly moved towards the front saw a little clear the teacher said go back sit down where I told you to sit I said no. Go to the office. My father came back from work said why is my son not in class. They told him why he got me back to the room sat in the front she was told he will be seated here or you will be not teaching. In the fifth grade my Eye doctor took the problem into his own hands did the operation to remove the cataracts it took12 weeks to heal and glasses made. It worked. Read about Ms Keller wrote a Paper on her. Graditude for her for making the impossible possible
They were two geniuses working together. A true miracle how hard Anne Sullivan worked with Helen who was a remarkable woman. They taught us to value everyone however different they appear.
What a touching video! I got goosebumps when Helen spoke at the end. Simply a thing of beauty. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you so much for the video. Helen Keller was my idol. Annie Sullivan what a wonderful woman. I love all these Video's. This is the best one.
Amazing beautiful people. Wish there were more of them on this planet.
Me too! I admire Helen and Ann totally. These two women touched me tremendously and i often think of them and watch videos.. i love them! I wish there were more Helen and Ann.The world would be a great place to live if it was the case.
Amazing! :) amazing to see what you can conquer even when others think it's impossible. Anything is possible!
It is! I have gone to see a man in concert who was born without arms play the classical guitar with his feet! I saw a documentary about a woman who was in an electrocution accident as a child and lost her arms. She grew up to be able to do everything with her feet. She drove a car (adapted) and steered with her feet. She ate with her feet. She got married and had a baby and took care for her baby using her feet as her arms and hands. it was amazing. None of us think we could do it, but necessity and desire can make humans adapt to almost any situation. One can either wallow in self pity, or rise to the occasion.
They interviewed that woman's mother, and the key component was the mom not feeling sorry for the child. She made her learn to eat with utensils using her feet. She said it was hard not to jump in at times, but she refrained. Our children must learn certain things in order to become INDEPENDENT. That is my goal for my child, as well.
Thanks for posting this rare & touching footage of two extraordinary women.
Helen Keller is one of my favorite people. She proves to me that you CAN do anything, and that anything IS possible! The fact that she was blind and deaf and accomplished so much just makes me so proud. I can't wait to go to heaven to finally meet her and tell her how much I love her!
Don't know if it was a coincidence or not that she looked directly into the camera, or that she knew it was there and knew to look into it. . That was pretty amazing.
Like if you are in pools of tears.
This is priceless vintage video!
What a gift to see Anne Sullivan & Helen Keller. Speechless...
Thanks for uploading this, Mark!
Thank you for posting this video. It is very touching.
Let's see - In 1930 Helen Keller was the woman young girls could look to for inspiration = a woman who contracted an illness that left her blind and deaf as an infant yet she went on to graduate from Radcliffe College with a BA - authored 12 books, campaigned for women's suffrage and worker's rights, traveled to 40 countries as a US Envoy and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her achievements. In 2015, young girls have Kim Kardashian = a woman who gained fame via a sex video, large butt and a reality television show exploiting her vapid and vain qualities where her accomplishments are zero with the exception of bearing a child with a rap singer of equal parts vanity.
+Victor Vector Not true, there are still role models to look up to. Like Malala, for example.
+anda1234re you're overreacting to his message. Why so defensive? Tell me...
It's really SAD the role models the children of today have:(
You sound bitter.
Sigh! You are on target, Victor Vector.
wow, this is so wonderful
Watching these to wonderful ladies communicating, brings my heart the greatest joy. With patience, compassion and love, absolutely anything is possible. ❤
Annie Sullivan had a very beautiful voice. It is a pity that she lost her vision at the end of her life.
Nevertheless, her accomplishment as a teacher was so amazing. Thanks a lot for posting this video.
Helen keller had a bad sickness and did not know anything.Without Anne Sullivan helen would be a sick woman.But Anne saw her than helped helen side language and how to talk.
Thank you Anne S.
One word: AWESOME!
Absolutely love this!. Love Helen and Anne!. My aunt went blind when I was 4&5 from adult diabetes. She had braille books everywhere. I admired my aunt Sue and Helen too! Thank you for uploading this!!!
So cool-I didnt know there was clips like this of Helen Keller or Anne Sullivan! Thanks for sharing!
Heart touching
why would 127 people dislike this!
atheists probably did
i'm athiest and i found it inspiring...
jazz rat I would only dislike this video because it is not captioned. I am deaf and would LOVE to know what Helen said. One would think that of all the videos on here, this one would be accessible :)
There's a few conspiracy theories as to the authenticity of her published works. I'm guessing that's where that number comes from. Also to, amazing/moving/inspirational is a subjective term.
More likely because she was a socialist.
She is an inspiration to everyone. Great lady as well as those that taught her to communicate.
No she isn’t she is a fraud
Helen is seriously an inspiration to me, she makes me want to try harder at life, she has accomplished SO much, and with a smile on her face while doing it.i hope i can be as driven, and joyful as her one day. Thank you Helen.
amazing people!
Overcoming obstacles.....a lesson
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I used it today as a resource during my Theory of Knowledge class in high school.
How amazing! I have seen film of Helen Keller as an older woman but not as a younger woman. A wonderful story through her life experience she opened doors for so many. Thanks for posting the clip!
Fraud!!!!!
Thanks for this. I had never seen any footage of Helen Keller before this. It was very interesting and inspiring. I'm glad to learn this exists. These were two amazing people. Take care.
Absolutely brilliant and inspiring. Anyone who is not inspired or moved by this isn't alive. These women were angels on Earth. Amazing.
It goes to show the capacity for learning that us a humans have. The drive we have to make the best out of any siuation. It is sad Helen didnt leave behind any children to carry on her legacy.... we need more people like her in this world!! Amazing Woman!!
It is amazing that she learned to talk without hearing or hearing. I think she was a lot smarter then others thought. She was amazing.
Never knew this film clip existed. How fascinating. To see them both together and reenacting how she learned is simply amazing.
Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for letting us see this video footage. OMG I am so blown away by this. I have always had a fascination with Helen and Anne. Seeing this footage and seeing the interaction between the them on video brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you Thank You Thank You!!!!
This is gold! Thanks for posting this!
I can't imagine anything much scarier than being deaf and blind. I hope that doesn't come across the wrong way. What Anne and Helen accomplished is so inspiring.
I have never seen this. It was touching to watch. Thanks so much for sharing :)
This is amazing.... thank you so much for this video
Remarkable and enthralling to watch these two show how they made history. Helen Keller is amazing and Anne Sullivan is a genius for coming up with that method.
This video ab-so-lutely blows me away.
I honestly didn't think there was any film of Helen at all.
Thank you so much for sharing this
...She's quite a cutie, too :-)
Had heard about Helen in school years ago but this is the first time ive actually seen footage of her. Absolutely amazing.
This story never fails to move me. Quite remarkable, astonishing
It's an amazing story. What dedication you must have. Dedicate your whole life to another person. Both ladies were wonderful.
Just looking at the way she made the last utterance, it was not just a sentence, it's truly an incredible claim to the world that not everyone can do. And her eyes, her eyes sparked just like a twins of comet, they do "speak" with her language. Such a pure genius teachers and a powerful student we have here. God surely blessed them! 🎉❤❤❤
Well I for one am so glad you did upload this video...thank you. What a great find...i didn't even know this video existed. I can't decide who is more amazing Helen Keller or Anne Sullivan. I'm leaning towards Anne Sullivan because she had to have SO SO MUCH PATIENTS. She took on a job,that became her obsession and passion. That is probably why she was able to reach Helen, her determination (in part because of the brother she lost...wasnt able to save), she wanted to save Helen and never give up
Absolutely inspiring!!
this is inspirational like no other. talk about perseverance and faith! major kudos for those that never gave up on her.
Just finished reading the biography of Helen Keller and how her teacher Annie Sullivan helped her shaped who she was. Its amazing, inspirational and I wonder how much they might have gone through together. This video clip is precious as diamond.
Very touching and inspirational. Thanks for sharing this rare footage of Helen Keller.
I remember reading about Helen and Anne many years ago at school. Thankyou so much for this amazing bit of film,
"I am not dumb now." What a wonderful breakthrough. This proves that this woman was capable of doing anything.
Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan are both admirable women who have transformed the world by overcoming obstacles and making everyone aware of people who are visually impaired or blind and how we can overcome obstacles when God brings special people to our lives. It makes us all sensitive to others needs. Blessings!
After watching The Miracle Worker many times over the years, reading Ms. Keller's autobiography, and other bios about Helen, it's AMAZING to finally actually hear the REAL Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller speak for themselves with their OWN mouths.
This is an amazing story, we took the Miracle worker in Drama class.. And as the teacher was telling the story I thought to myself "I know this story".. Later on I remembered watching the movie and how much in touched me. I started to look for Helen everywhere, her words, videos.. Such an amazing woman
That's so crazy, I always wondered how she learned to speak. It's really inspiring how much she accomplished while facing such limitations
I'm beaming. This is beautiful and so inspiring. Both Helen and Anne were such great ladies
Wow... No other words can describe that footage. That woman's dedication for Helen. It's amazing.
