TAKE BACK GALLAUDET! WE DID IT! =)

Kentucky Chapter of GUAA alumni and friends gathered at Jacobs Hall museum at Kentucky School for the Deaf on Wednesday, November 1st to take part in the nationwide celebrating the protest at Gallaudet ending with good news! =)

Archie & Barbie Harris were at Gallaudet a week before homecoming visiting their daughter, Jennifer and participated in the protest. Barbie got this band and left it on until this day, it was finally cut off.

This picture is self-explanatory! YAY! =)

The banner was donated by City Art Signs, THANKS! =) The Harrises are mailing it to their daughter, Jennifer at Gallaudet and she would show the banner and talk about it there before it goes to the Gallaudet archives for historical purposes.

Alumni & friends

Byron Wilson leaves his autograph on the banner.

....and Sandy Johnson does the same thing.

Read below about the history of the painting above.

The museum has a painting of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet seen above.

A painting of Laurent Clerc with the banner. The painting is one of only 3 paintings of Laurent Clerc out there! American School for the Deaf has one and we are not sure where the 3rd one is but someone said it might be at the Library of Congress? Gotta find that out!

Autographs on the banner with the painting.
