Talks Revisited: Helen Keller with Monika Lind

Monika Lind brings her Revisited series to the Museum & Art Gallery in Worthing on Thursday 25 March, with a talk on the life of Helen Keller. It's a 90-minute session, starting at 6:30pm.

Most of us know Keller as the woman who lost both her sight and hearing as a young child, but the talk goes well beyond that. She became the first deafblind person to earn a college degree and spent the rest of her life as an internationally respected author, educator and humanitarian. She campaigned worldwide for better sight and hearing healthcare, and she was just as active on women's rights, social justice and peace. It's a lot more than the school-book version of her story.

Lind is a retired university lecturer in Culture and Humanities Studies, and this forms part of her Revisited series — a collection of talks about remarkable people. The session is aimed at ages 16 and over.

Tickets start from £10.75, plus a £0.75 transaction fee, and the whole thing runs for 90 minutes from 6:30pm at the Museum & Art Gallery.
