"The National Federation of the Blind will premiere a video promoting Braille Literacy in Times Square in New York City. Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind, said: “There can be no doubt that the ability to read and write Braille competently and efficiently is the key to education, employment, and success for the blind. Despite the undisputed value of Braille, only about 10 percent of blind children in the United States are currently learning it. This video will announce the need for equal opportunities in education and employment for the entire nation's blind."
