She also used her thumb to feel the vibrations of his throat..she was so amazing and such an inspiration, the fact this woman was able to obtain a college degree when most women were shut out of college, the fact that she was deaf, blind and mute is unbelievable.Probably the most popular photo I ever posted & it’s still getting notes over a year later. It really is a great picture. Keller could “listen” to Charlie by touching his lips when he spoke.
Charlie and Helen Keller on the set of Sunnyside, 1918.
This is such a powerful picture. The way she’s touching his face to get a sense of what he looks like is just beautiful.
