The Power of Love

How Kenneth Jernigan Changed the World for the Blind

By: National Federation of the Blind

The Power of Love: How Kenneth Jernigan Changed the World for the Blind shares the voices of a collection of individuals whose writings reveal the deep truth that serves as the foundation for the life and work of Kenneth Jernigan. His life and their writings together speak of how Thomas Jeffersons self-evident truths imply that equality extends to embrace blind people just as surely as this country has come to understand equalitys inclusion of all people regardless of the color of their skin. Ramona Walhof, editor of The Power of Love and longtime friend of Kenneth Jernigan, draws together the distinctive voices of individuals who knew Kenneth Jernigan and whose lives he touched through his work with the National Federation of the Blind. Each of the reflections begins with a brief biographical sketch that introduces the chapters author and ties his or her life to Kenneth Jernigan and his work. The book concludes with a chapter, Blindness: The Federation at Fifty, a retrospective written by Kenneth Jernigan himself in the last decade of his life. The Power of Love: How Kenneth Jernigan Changed the World for the Blind gathers a polyphonic chorus of voices that tell how the power of love, coursing through the life of Kenneth Jernigan, changed the world for the blind and, in so doing, changed the world for everyone.

Behind Closed Doors

My Life Story

By: The Unthinkable

The story takes place in Chicago, Illinois, where the author lived with her four loved ones. She is writing this autobiography about her pains, trials, and pleasures. Her story will deeply explain what her trials and tribulations pulled her through. Living and learning from life, the author has learned to always place God first and to always love yourself and your family. She has learned that when dealing with relationships, you have to be ready to give a person a part of you; and in relationships, sometimes you may lose yourself as a person because you want to be a girlfriend, etc. So may I say this to my readers: just be careful of who you give your heart to because in the end, that person can hurt your heart; so just keep God in your life, stay strong, do the things you need to do to better your life for you and your family, always love yourself, and be blessed.
