July is Disability Pride Month, and we are celebrating the contributions of those with disabilities that have had a major impact on public health!

Helen Keller

Helen Keller is most well known for being deaf and blind and yet overcoming personal triumphs to be the first deafblind person in the U.S. to earn a bachelor’s degree. She was a prolific author and dedicated activist, advocating for the rights of people with disabilities, women’s suffrage, labor rights, and world peace.

In 1915, Keller co-founded Helen Keller International to help World War I vets who were blinded during combat. However, she soon recognized many of these individuals were suffering from preventable causes such as vitamin A deficiency and poor nutrition. HKI evolved into a global nonprofit addressing many public health challenges.

Keller also co-founded the ACLU in 1920. She linked disability rights with broader civil liberties, recognizing that systemic solutions were needed to address both health inequities and discrimination.

Helen Keller’s public health contributions continue through HKI’s ongoing programs. Her ability to combine personal resilience with systemic advocacy made her not only a disability rights pioneer but also a true public health hero whose work still saves lives worldwide.
