Description: Quite a rare material. Helen Keller, the American author, political activist and lecturer, whom I don't have to explain much about, and her instructor and lifelong companion, Anne Sullivan, appears in a Vitaphone newsreel from 1930. In this footage Sullivan shows the way how Helen Keller learned to talk. The final line of this footage, "I Am Not DUMB now!" is somewhat touching. I know this footage have been shown on lots of more recent materials, but I was little bit surprised that nobody uploaded this before on YT except some clips, so I upload the full-length version.

Thank you so much for sharing this

- i will as soon as i find it :) a couple of months ago i saw the 200 version, so the original 1962 is the one i haven't seen yet. And yes, Patty Duke played Annie in the tv version.

- My mother told me an anecdote about Helen that she read somewhere. Apparantly, Helen was one night working late from her bed, and had left at least 1 light on so her helper(s) wouldn't be in the dark (literally). Then a helper (nurse?) told Helen it was time to sleep and, in ordering Helen to sleep, turned off the lights... lol
