President Meets Helen in a Unique Way
Get ready to feel the goosebumps! This unforgettable moment captures Helen Keller, an iconic figure who triumphed over both blindness and deafness, meeting President Dwight Eisenhower in 1953. At 73, Helen had already earned her stripes as a literary genius and advocate for the disabled. But it’s her unusual greeting that steals the spotlight—her sensitive fingers delicately tracing the President’s face.
Helen said this tactile interaction allowed her to “see” President Dwight, to sense the courage and resolve behind the political facade. Her companion during this visit to the White House was Polly Thompson. This photograph is a palpable testament to the indomitable spirit of the great Helen.
