One of the most compelling stories of the triumph of the human spirit began 125 years ago yesterday. Anne Sullivan had been hired to teach 6-year-old Helen Keller, left blind and deaf from a severe illness when she was a toddler. While Keller was termed “unteachable,” Sullivan persisted and reached her in just a month, teaching her the word “water” by holding her hand under a well pump and spelling the word in sign language on her palm. That incident unlocked what proved to be a fine mind and Keller went on to graduate from college, write books, and lecture around the world on behalf of the disabled.

Profile America is completing its 15th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.
