American Sign Language Classes Black History Month Research (By Sarah Bannon, ASL Instructor)
Warren, “Wawa” Snipe, a Black Deaf man signed the songs during Super Bowl 2022 show at half-time. He also signed the National Anthem in last year’s Super Bowl. This is a huge step forward in recognizing Black Deaf people. These individuals work hard, often persevering against all odds to attain the same opportunities as their Deaf White counterparts, who themselves are not always given the chance to be recognized.
As February is Black History Month, ASL 1 and 2 classes were assigned a Black Deaf person on whom they did a brief research report. We have much more work to do, but we are proud to have these individuals representing our Deaf Community as a unified whole.
