As #NFBL23 draws to a close, we would like to thank all those who help transform our dreams into reality!
Getting ready for the General Business Sesssion at #NFBL23. Last evening's banquet featured a galvanizing speech by @NormaCrosby, as well as state scholarship presentations and a boisterous, fun-filled auction to help build the Federation!
After a jam-packed day filled with myriad sesssions addressing a wide variety of topics, we are gearing up for banquet at #NFBL23.
The incomparable @NormaCrosby is delivering an informative and energizing national report and the crowd is loving it here at #NFBL23.

. @Riccobono “Often #A11y is an after thought. When it comes to #AutonomousVehicles we are not prepared to wait. We believe that accessibility benefits everyone and we appreciate that congress has included us from the beginning.” #Driverless #SelfDrivingCars

Powerful tribute to @TheLCB1985 graduate and @NFB_Voice Arkansas leader Joe Sexton who is battling cancer resulting from being a first responder after September 11. #FederationFamily
We were proud to partner with some great folks for the Touchdown Touch Tour this past Saturday, giving blind students an opportunity to experience a football gameday through touch.

Yes sir!
learning that I can read my mail, pay my bills, work at a job where I am valued, raise a family, and be respected in my community are all part of what it means to be independent for me. #MeetTheBlind
A6: Powering through the apprehension is one of the most important first steps. Setting aside long-held low expectations is essential. #MeetTheBlind
A5: At our Federation training centers and @PDRIB210, we understand that the #LongWhiteCane is a tangible expression of independence. #MeetTheBlind
