Though, the Yakima Valley benefit from the medical school tremendously creating untouchable jobs, there was an incident where the school denied a man from attending the medical school because he was deaf.

Featherson said, " I am the same person they admitted-I want to begin my education, become a top-notch doctor, and serve the deaf community.

Laurent Clerc was considered as one of the first outstanding deaf teachers in the United States, considering that he was born in France. Clerc was born on a village over by Lyons, France in 1835. He was born with hearing, that is until when he was just a year old that he fell into a fire that led to him losing his hearing and smell.

Alexander Graham Bell’s belief that “a life without signing would be a better life” was surprising especially after learning his mother and wife were deaf (“History: Through Deaf Eyes”). Bell’s oral method, to

In a hearing culture, a person undoubtedly thinks of the word literature as meaning a written form of storytelling. However, in Deaf culture the word “literature” may also refer to Deaf literature or ASL literature. Although both Deaf and ASL literature use similar structure they are different from one another. Deaf literature is written stories, poems or songs that include Deaf characters or Deaf experiences utilizing a Deaf perspective, ASL literature involves visual movement and just like when a person reads a book compared to seeing the movie it may be similar yet, it is different. Unlike just signing a word to convey its meaning, ASL literature becomes more akin to an actor performing in a play.
He became a “smooth signer” by having a tutor before he tried enrolling in school.. He applied to Maryland School for the Deaf in Federick, where he was hired as a secretary and a bookkeeper. When Veditz was 17 years old, he really wanted to apply to Gallaudet but could not afford tuition.

The Deaf President Now movement was one of the best things that happened to University, the movement helped the school and the students get a deaf president to lead them. The school has never had a deaf president ever since its been opened. The students of the university wanted a deaf president to lead them so bad they shut down the school until they could get a deaf president. Gallaudet University was the school where all the deaf students went, it was hard for a hard of hearing student to attend a hearing school. The deaf president now was the biggest thing for the deaf and still is unto this day.
Some people see deafness as a disability, while others treat it as a disease that need to be cured. Many people have tried to stop deafness through eugenics or oral schooling, but deafness is deafness no questions asked. Many people understand deafness as something that all deaf people hate, while others acknowledge that certain people are content with deafness and others are not.
