Walking Alone and Marching Together History of the Organized Blind Movement in the United States, 1940-1990, by Floyd Matson. This book is a story of the organized blind: The National Federation of the Blind. Kenneth Jernigan: The Master, The Mission, The Movement Compiled writings of Dr. Kenneth Jernigan with editorial introduction and notes on the text. National Convention Banquet Speeches Without a doubt, the banquet speech is the highlight of each year's national convention. In addition, there are a few other signal convention speeches which are so monumental that they have often been confused for banquet speeches (such as "The Nature of Independence"). National Convention Presidential Reports The presidential reports offer a concise historical record of the National Federation of the Blind's powerful movement from year to year. The reports since 1990 are available online. National Convention Resolutions The policies of the Federation are established by resolutions adopted by the national convention. For many years, our national president has disseminated information to our members across the United States by way of a short recording highlighting major events of the recent past and approaching future. Calls to action have spread like wildfire among our grassroots movement, often due to these highly anticipated releases on cassette tape. Starting in December of 2005 with Presidential Release Number 335, President Maurer has now made these important pieces of news available online.
