        Those  people  whose  only  experience  of  Helen  Keller  is  The  Miracle  Worker  will  be surprised to discover her many dimensions.“My work for the blind,”she wrote, “has never occupied a center in my personality. My sympathies are with all who struggle for justice.”She was a tireless activist for racial and sexual equality…She was complex. Her main message was and is, “We're like everybody else. We're here to be able to live a life as full as any  sighted person's. And it's O.K. to be ourselves.” 

       That  means  we  have  the  freedom  to be  as  extraordinary  as the  sighted. Helen  Keller loved an audience and wrote that she adored“the warm tide of human life pulsing round and round  me”That's  why  the  stage  appealed  to  her,  why  she  learned  to  speak  and  to  deliver speeches. And to feel the vibrations of music, of the radio, or the movement of lips.
