#DeafHistoryMonth is all about uplifting the rich and unique stories of deaf people around the world. In the U.S., specifically, deaf people have led movements to push for systemic change. Such changes require collaboration, and there’s no better time to collaborate than during Deaf History Month!

Can you name some of those famous movements? #themoreyouknow
