GEORGE VEDITZ
George William Veditz (August 13, 1861 – March 12, 1937)
He was a former president of National Association of the Deaf of the United States and was one of the first to film American Sign Language. The film by Veditz is called, "Perservation of ASL", a true inspiration film.
Milan Conference in 1880- It was the time when no other event in the history of Deaf education had a greater impact on the lives and education of Deaf people. This single event almost destroyed sign language. This man, George Veditz, created a film to bring the faith in the Deaf community to never give up on American Sign Language.
Acrylic painting. The emerald city from The Wizard of Oz is a metaphor of Government who has all the power to make our world more beautiful and yet a better place. Instead of yellow brick road, we have a rainbow path to lead us into the Emerald City. This is what the future holds for the Deaf Community; a promise to enrich the preservation of Deaf culture forever. Inspired by George Veditz's film.

You say this film almost destroyed sign language; why?
ReplyDeleteThe spirit of Preservation of ASL by George Veditz is to inspire the world of ASL to not be brainwashed by Oralism. This is where AGBell comes in, the inventor of first practical telephone, he thought that he could invent something for Deaf people. Bell is often viewed negatively by those embracing Deaf culture. He told the world that we; Deaf people must no longer use ASL and learn Oralism in order to have a "normal" life. Because of him, ASL was banned for many many years.
