(2) In 1952, Helen Keller was invited to join the centennial celebrations of Louis Braille’s birth in Paris. She was given a Medal ofChevalier of the French Legion of Honor. Mister President, Professors, Ladies and Gentlemen,    I am touched by the honor you have given me. I cannot help thinking that this honor is not due to any accomplishment of mine,but is rather for the encouragement of the blind and the deaf whom I represent.    On behalf of the blind people of the world, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for having generously recognized the prideand efforts of all those who refuse to succumb to their limitations. In our way, we, the blind, are as indebted to Louis Braille asmankind is to Guntenberg. It is true that the dot system is very different from ordinary print, but these raised letters are, under ourfingers, precious seeds from which our intellectual harvest has grown. Without the Braille dot system, how incomplete and chaoticour education would be! The dismal doors of frustration would shut us out from the untold treasures of literature, philosophy andscience. But, like a magic wand, the six dots of Louis Braille have resulted in schools where embossed books, and like vessels, cantransport us to ports of education, libraries and all the means of expression that assure our independence.    Can I tell you, esteemed faculty of the Sorbonne, my heartfelt thoughts? You have shown a generous interest in the wellbeing ofmankind. Above all, you represent France, which is always in the forefront of enlightened activity—the country where Louis Braillewas born and for whose legacy he worked. How better can we honor his memory than by pursuing the Christian ideal of helpingthose with disabilities and fostering a public spirit of cooperation that will enable the visually impaired to reach enormous heights ofaccomplishment and spiritual fulfillment?
