Show Me Deaf Community is a b/vlog about what I see and what the Deaf Community show me in daily life. The author is a.k.a. Deaf Advocate on other blogs. He believes in Deaf Advocacy and the rights of the Deaf in all aspects of life from birth to grave. It is a human right and a testimony to facts of life affecting the deaf community. He firmly believes in Laurent Clerc and his contributions to the New World. George Veditz is another one! He predicted videophones in 1913!

SMDC's Pick for DAW: "You Have to be Deaf to Understand" by Willard J Madsen
SMDC's Pick for DAW:"You Have to be Deaf to Understand
It is time to look around and realize how far we have come in deaf advocacy and how much preserverance we have so far. It is a blessing this week as suggested by WFD (World Federation of Deaf) to use this 4th week in September every year to recognize Deaf Awareness Week. So it is Show Me Deaf Community's pick for Deaf Awareness Week 2010 by showing the poem written by deaf poet.
I believe it is good idea to review this poem by Willard J Madsen.

It is fun to educate the public about our proud deaf culture and heritage.
Let's keep up that tradition!
Let's celebrate our Deaf Awareness Week! It can be anytime throughout the year. Let's celebrate it 52 times? (52 weeks a year)
