Helen Keller, the American author, political activist and lecturer, and her instructor and lifelong companion, Anne Sullivan, appear in this Vitaphone newsreel from 1930.

Both Annie Sullivan and Hellen Keller deserve the description "heroine"> They were both amazing examples of what humans can do with faith in themselves, each other and sheer determination. The movie telling their story "The Miracle Worker" was aptly named. People can and do create their own miracles.
