Helen Keller was born in Tuscumbia, a small rural town in Alabama, USA. Your deafblindness was caused by a fever in February 1882 when she was only 19 months old. His inability to communicate in such an early stage of development was very traumatic for her and her family due to this was nearly impossible for a while.
For him to speak, Sullivan put Helen's hand in his throat so he could feel the vibrations created when communicating. Helen Sullivan was trying to form these same vibrations. This procedure was used to teach Helen to speak at a young age.
His speech, however, remained unclear. It was not until years later that, with the help of the technique of a voice teacher and support from Annie, Helen was finally able to speak clearly.
Daughter of Captain Arthur Henley Keller and Kate Adams Keller, Helen was born with full sight and hearing. Today the nature of his illness remains a mystery. Doctors at the time called it "brain fever" while today's doctors think may have been scarlet fever or meningitis.
FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT:
Assuming the Presidency at the depth of the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt helped the American people regain faith in themselves. He brought hope as he promised prompt, vigorous action, and asserted in his Inaugural Address, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
Born in 1882 at Hyde Park, New York--now a national historic site--he attended Harvard University and Columbia Law School.
On St. Patrick's Day, 1905, he married Eleanor Roosevelt.
Following the example of his fifth cousin, President Theodore Roosevelt, whom he greatly admired, Franklin D. Roosevelt entered public service through politics, but as a Democrat. He won election to the New York Senate in 1910. President Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and he was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 1920.
