From Frederick Douglass, who believed literacy was essential to freedom, to Shirley Chisholm, a former educator and lifelong advocate for education equity, their legacies remind us why accessible learning matters. #BlackHistoryMonth #Accessibility #Benetech

Finished reading Now I See You by @nicoleckear. A powerful memoir detailing her life as she loses her eyesight over 10 years becoming a wife and a mother. Highly recommended. Accessible formats from @CELAlibrary in Canada and @Bookshare in the US. #books #booktwt #BookWorm
