The Animated Story of Helen Keller Video on Interactive DVD with Resource Book Description
Helen Keller (June 27, 1880-June 1, 1968) was an American author, activist, and lecturer. Born in Alabama to Captain Arthur H. Keller, a former officer of the Confederate Army and Kate Adams Keller, second cousin of Robert E. Lee, Helen came down with an illness that left her deaf and blind at the age of only nineteen months.
Alexander Graham Bell advised Helen’s parents to contact the Perkins Institute for the Blind, which assigned 20-year-old Anne Sullivan to become Helen’s teacher.
Forced to isolate Helen from her family in order to re-teach discipline and manners, Anne Sullivan helped Helen overcome incredible obstacles to find her freedom. Helen's big breakthrough in communication came one day when she realized that the motions her teacher was making on her palm (sign language) symbolized the idea of "water."
