This site celebrates the achievements of deaf people in history, and those who are still active in their careers. Each month, we’ll highlight a contemporary newsmaker.



We also honor the achievements of hearing people whose commitment and dedication enhanced the quality of life in the Deaf community. Along with biographical information on notable deaf people of the past and present, we hope to make this site a “Deaf Who’s Who” by listing leaders of organizations, agencies, and institutions serving the Deaf community.



You can nominate someone (such as a Deaf mentor, professor, or businessperson whom you admire) for “Deaf Person of the Month.” Click here for the nomination form. Research Want List
