2. HELEN KELLER
The name of Helen Keller is known world wide as a symbol
of courage.
Helen was a woman that was intelligent, high ambition,
and had great accomplishment.
She also devoted her life to helping others.

10. Keller went on to become a world-famous speaker and author. She is
remembered as an advocate for people with disabilities, amid numerous other
causes. She was a suffragist, a pacifist, an opponent of Woodrow Wilson,
a radical socialist and a birth control supporter. In 1915 she and George
Kessler founded the Helen Keller International(HKI) organization. This
organization is devoted to research in vision, health and nutrition. In 1920 she
helped to found the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Keller traveled to
40-some-odd countries with Sullivan, making several trips to Japan and
becoming a favorite of the Japanese people. Keller met every U.S. President
from Grover Cleveland to Lyndon B. Johnson and was friends with many
famous figures, including Alexander Graham Bell, Charlie Chaplin and Mark
Twain. Keller and Twain were both considered radicals at the beginning of the
20th century, and as a consequence, their political views have been forgotten
or glossed over in popular perception.
Keller was a member of the Socialist Party and actively campaigned and wrote
in support of the working class from 1909 to 1921. She supported Socialist
Party candidate Eugene V. Debs in each of his campaigns for the presidency.

causes at Arcan Ridge,
