At a restaurant I was privy to the facially animated conversations of a dining table of apparently deaf persons. A baby at the head of the table was babbling happily. Thank you for helping me to wonder. I received the following message when I tried to play the preview of the Superbowl ad: “The URL contained a malformed video ID.”

I know mental illness can be a devastating disease, whether it is depression, schizophrenia, autism, or many other diagnoses from which many people suffer. I know the Lord is with you all.

I hope that the webmaster would consider printing some material about Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, who was an ordained Congregationalist minister, brought sign language to America from France bringing Laurent Clerc to establish the first school for the deaf in America. This is something that UCC can take pride in. Once again thanks for publishing this article on the website.

While I cannot actually see the photos because I’m totally blind, I trust that they are quality pictoral tributes to the men and women who dedicated their time and effort to raising awareness of the necessity for the ADA Restoration Act. I think it is great that you have included the specific tie-ins that make this project worth mentioning alongside Dr. King. Additionally, thank you for educating me about Harriet Tubman’s epilepsy; that fact was unknown to me prior to this piece.
