I'm watching #DeafPresidentNow (great doc. I totally recommend it) and 🤬 Ted Koppel. He totally took Zinser's side. He was a bastard in the interview. #audist #Deaf #Gallaudet

It’s wonderful to have the story told first hand from the four students who led the protest. Each were very different characters. But you see their passion as if it all happened just yesterday.

What amazes and troubles me as a British person who is ‘hard of hearing’ and a kid growing up in the 80’s, I knew nothing of this amazing story in #DisabledRights history until tonight.

And why is #Gallaudet still the only #Deaf university in the world?

Just watched Deaf President Now! on Apple TV.

It’s a documentary about how students of the world’s only #Deaf university, #Gallaudet, rebelled against having yet another hearing president foisted upon them in 1988.

In the course of just a week they revolutionised the power structures of an institution that had been a Deaf educational community for 124 years, but had never been led by a Deaf person who could sign or understand what it was to be part of that community. Great viewing!

Speaking of #ClosedCaptioning, #Radiolab looks at the history of Closed Captioning, including the protests at #Gallaudet University, and the technologies that have led to its near ubiquity today, including the role of #ai.
