Amazing. I grew up knowing the story of Sullivan and Keller but never actually understood how she was able to have that basic understanding to communicate. This is so fascinating. I find it deeply moving when she smiles and says, "now I am not dumb". I am struck by the double meaning of the word back then, when an inability to speak was perceived as a mental deficiency.
I am thrilled to hear the voice of Anne Sullivan. And I am glad to realize she had a very beautiful voice. While we often feature Helen Keller herself, her teacher has not been in the same spotlight. Anne Sullivan is the real miracle.
i admire both of them since i was a kid.. they are both truly a "one of a kind". if i will have kids, i will make sure they would be able to know the story of these two AMAZING woman.
Amazing to see and hear these people from 84 years ago. I saw Arthur Penn's movie in the 1970s but this is something else! One is grateful to those who made this film and those who have enabled it to be accessible still. Robert Smith

Helene Keller is a miracle. There are very few people like her around the world and in the history of mankind. This is a very beautiful course of phonetics.
Oh, of course. I find her case interesting though. This tadoma speech method interesting also. I wonder if Anne felt sick to her stomach at times from what I read sometimes Helen would stick her whole hand down her throat. That is wonderful determination on Anne's part!!

caitlinjane92 Annie Sullivan Macy married a man named John Macy. She added his last name to her name when they were married. She kept the last name if I remember correctly, even when Annie and John got a divorce.
Two of the greatest ladies who ever lived.
at 2:40 when Mrs. sullivan mispoke, Hellen laughed at her. That is really cool. You can tell they were close friends.
I love seeing Anne Sullivan speaking here.
Anne is the epitome of a teacher ... an unsung hero.

Why was Anne Sullivan referred to as Mrs. Macy?
Her full name was Anne Sullivan Macy. Hope this helps. :-)
Because she had married Mr. Macy
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Sullivan
Anne married, after which she called herself "Anne Sullivan-
Macy".
