Three people standing by a podium that says Lighthouse Guild. Dr. Calvin W. Roberts, President & CEO of Lighthouse Guild, holds up a large glass, diamond-shaped award with my name on it. I’m standing in the middle, smiling and holding my braille computer. On my right stands Dr. Alan R. Morse, a professor at Columbia University’s Department of Ophthalmology and president emeritus of Lighthouse Guild.

Delivering a Lecture at the Lighthouse Guild

by

I was honored to deliver Lighthouse Guild’s very first Dr. Alan R. Morse Lecture in Advocacy! They supported my college education through a scholarship, and back then I never imagined that I would one day become a disability justice leader. Thank you, Lighthouse Guild!

Let’s keep lifting up disabled advocates! Do you know a blind advocate to nominate for the next Lecture? Send their name & a description of their work to Lighthouse Guild (Fernanda N. Garcia-Pina [email protected]). The Lecture includes a $25,000 award!
