NFB of SouthCarolina

The NFB knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines u or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can #LiveTheLifeYouWant Blindness is not what holds u back

The United States Constitution guarantees the right of all blind and low-vision citizens to vote and the exercise of this right is important to the function of our democratic form of government. #NationalVoterRegistrationDay

"Blindness can best be defined not physically or medically but functionally or sociologically. The alternative techniques which must be learned are the same for those born blind as for those who become blind as adults." Read A Definition of Blindness: nfb.org/sites/nfb.org/…
