In the early 1950s, 24 Black deaf students attended a segregated school on the grounds of Gallaudet University. However, due to systemic barriers, they were denied the opportunity to receive their high school diplomas.

It's been 70 years since those students were first able to enroll, and finally, their struggle and resilience will be recognized and honored.

The descendants of these Black deaf students, along with the students themselves, will now have the opportunity to receive the recognition they deserve for their educational achievements.

It is crucial to shed light on the unique challenges faced by this community, as well as highlight their incredible strength and determination. We must all work towards creating a more inclusive society that recognizes and supports the needs of Black Deaf students. Together, we can ensure that they have equal opportunities to thrive and succeed. Thank you for reading and joining us in advocating for a more inclusive world.
