I'm delighted to see Yale ASL students conducting research on Roger D. O’Kelly. In case you're not familiar, he was the first Black Deaf-Blind lawyer in the USA, holding law degrees from both Shaw and Yale Universities. Notably, he favored sign language. #BlackHistoryMonth
Congratulations to HMS and @BostonSchools alum Mohamed Abanoor (Class of '19) on his graduation from the Boston Police Academy today. He's the first Deaf and the first Somali @bostonpolice officer. We provided ASL access for our students to view the ceremony live. #HMSDeafPride

Today we lost a legend. Judy Heumann was a trailblazer for disability rights, opening the door for me and millions of disabled people.
Working with her, a dream. Her smile infectious.
The journey of disability rights continues in her memory. Thank you 🙏 Judy. Rest in power.
