  • Helen Keller's loss of vision and hearing in infancy made comprehension of the outside world next to impossible-or so it seemed. When teacher Anne Sullivan agreed to work with Keller, that world opened up, especially when Keller comprehended the function and purpose of language. Keller and Sullivan appear in this newsreel footage from 1928, in which Sullivan explains and then demonstrates the methodology used to teach Keller language, most elements of which are still used worldwide with students who are deaf-blind. This full-length version is brought to you by the Described and Captioned Media Program (www.dcmp.org) with the permission of the copyright holder, the University of South Carolina Newsreel Library (www.sc.edu/library/newsfilm/). It has been described for the blind and captioned for the deaf. To learn more about description and captioning, visit the following websites: www.dcmp.org/description and www.dcmp.org/captions.

    I love seeing Anne Sullivan speaking here.
    Anne is the epitome of a teacher ... an unsung hero.

    This selfless effort brought tears to my eyes. A remarkable teacher never gave up her student and tried every way to teach her, to reach her.

    Helen Keller was particularly intelligent to understand what Ann Sullivan tried to teach her... It is great !

    Amazing. I grew up knowing the story of Sullivan and Keller but never actually understood how she was able to have that basic understanding to communicate. This is so fascinating.
    I find it deeply moving when she smiles and says, "now I am not dumb". I am struck by the double meaning of the word back then, when an inability to speak was perceived as a mental deficiency.

    I am thrilled to hear the voice of Anne Sullivan. And I am glad to realize she had a very beautiful voice. While we often feature Helen Keller herself, her teacher has not been in the same spotlight. Anne Sullivan is the real miracle.

    Amazing to see and hear these people from 84 years ago. I saw Arthur Penn's movie in the 1970s but this is something else! One is grateful to those who made this film and those who have enabled it to be accessible still. Robert Smith

    Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. (Helen Keller)

    Oh, of course. I find her case interesting though. This tadoma speech method interesting also. I wonder if Anne felt sick to her stomach at times from what I read sometimes Helen would stick her whole hand down her throat. That is wonderful determination on Anne's part!!

      caitlinjane92 Annie Sullivan Macy married a man named John Macy. She added his last name to her name when they were married. She kept the last name if I remember correctly, even when Annie and John got a divorce.
