Helen Keller on film

[arlc]

 I found this at BoingBoing.net.

Helen Keller is, has been, and always will be too cool for school. She was an activist before there was even a word
for it. Check out this clip of her and her teacher, Anne Sullivan, discussing Helen's childhood and how she came to 
be so dang cool...

She's something like my sixth cousin or so (my maternal grandmother was a Keller) and my great-grandparents met her once or twice. Helen was friends with Mark Twain, who called her one of the two most interesting people of the 1800s (Napoleon was the other). I'm also related to Mark Twain on my father's side (along with Obama...so I might just pwn the world).

Cool vid.
