On July 4, 1816, America celebrated its 40th birth anniversary a month before Laurent Clerc from France arrived in America with Thomas H. Gallaudet on August 9, 1816.<\/p>\n

Clerc, the first deaf visionary leader in the field of American education, and the two others (T.H. Gallaudet and Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell) co-founded American School<\/span><\/span><\/span> for the Deaf on April 15, 1817 in Hartford, CT. It was the first kind of the school in America; it used public funds \u2013 an idea for the hearing and also for the blind to do the same in the late 1830s!<\/p>\n

*A poster (8.5\u201d x 11\u201d) \u201cDeaf America Reads\u201d designed by Lois Hoover, Deaf artist, for the National Literary Society of the Deaf, is included in the FOLDA KIT: Laurent Clerc and Gallaudet University. This kit is a fundraiser by Gallaudet Class<\/span><\/span><\/span> of 1957 for Gallaudet Archives. The cost is 25 dollars each packet (folder) which also includes two other posters (Laurent Clerc and Abb\u00e9 l\u2019\u00c9p\u00e9e) by Jean Boutcher, Deaf artist. And for the packet with a binder and 20 sheet protectors and plus one complimentary poster of George W. Veditz<\/span><\/span><\/span> by Deaf artist, Nancy Rourke, the cost is 45 dollars. If interested to purchase either item: packet only or packet<\/span><\/span> with the binder, sheets and extra poster, please add $5 for shipping.
