-- a city honors deaf father and deaf son
DeafDigest mentioned some weeks back that two
deaf men (father and son) were at a gas station/
convenience market when a robbery and a murder
took place. They fought against the murderer,
overcoming him, forcing him to run away. He
was caught. The city of Parma, Ohio had a
ceremony, honoring both deaf men. The picture
of the ceremony is at:

-- a big Deaf Fight at Martha's Vineyard
Deaf people, that follow history, know all about
Martha's Vineyard where everyone knew sign language
because many deaf people lived there years way back.
There is a play going on at a theater in Chicago -
The Vineyard. It is about Deaf Romeo in love with
Deaf Juliet at Nartha's Vineyard. They are stuck
in a big fight between a group that supports
sign language and a group that supports oralism!
It is a twist of this all-time famous Shakespearian
play!
-- the best Deaf Films
We have many deaf filmmakers (amateurs, not
professionals) that love to film deaf-themed stories.
Digital photography has made it possible whereas
film photography has made it almost impossible.
Anyway, who are the best Deaf Filmmakers in the
world? They are in Great Britain. Why? The British
Sign Language Broadcasting Trust has given funds
for Deaf Filmmakers to do what they love to do so.
What about USA? Forget it - they do it out of love
of labor (and no money!).
