LET’S CELEBRATE
January 4th 2009 marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of the man who invented the Braille code.
Louis Braille, a Frenchman, developed the system when he was just a boy. He became blind through an accident, and after discovering that trying to read raised letters was much too slow. He wanted a faster way for blind people to read and write. He modeled Braille after a system of codes used by the military, and then he expanded his system. Braille is still used today by hundreds of blind people as their primary means of reading and writing.
