Live the Life you Want; blindness is not what holds you back.<br>
<br>
In cleaning out my home office, I came across the 2007 NFB of California agenda. In that<br>
agenda is the mission statement of the NFB as we promoted it that year. I thought I would<br>
type it in here, since I think it captures, quite well, much of the work we've done over the<br>
years and the work we continue to do as we proceed through Meet the Blind Month, October.<br>
<br>
Mission Statement:<br>
The Ultimate Goal of the National Federation of the Blind is the complete integration of the<br>
blind into society on a basis of equality. This objective includes the removal of legal, economic, and<br>
social discrimination and the education of the public to new, and and more accurate concepts<br>
concerning blindness. It means the right of the blind to work along with their sighted peers<br>
in the professions, skilled trades, and regular occupations.<br>
