Roger Demosthenes O' Kelly was the first Black Deaf Blind lawyer in 1908! During that era, there were not interpreters, American Disabilities Act (ADA), or any accessible for Deaf people to navigate through the college years. O'Kelly applied to enroll at Gallaudet, but was declined because of his skin color. He attended Shaw University and graduated with a law degree. https://youtu.be/aDwjFzx91hM
