\npreserve, protect and promote the civil, human and linguistic rights of deaf
\nand hard of hearing people in the USA. Workshop and commission presentations
\nshould also be tied to the principles of self-determination,
\nself-representation and self-expression which resulted in the establishment
\nof the NAD in 1880 and guides its work to this day.<\/p>\n
