My Identity: Misunderstood
Banjo's World To this day, I find myself astonished that the deaf community continues to be one of the most misunderstood minorities. I believe it?s one of the most misunderstood minorities in North America and around the world.

Alumni Take Over!
Deaf Kitchen Where do I begin? It was an emotional ride up 6th Street as I approached Gallaudet in the taxicab from the airport. Entering the 6th Street gate to the campus, everything seemed deserted. In fact, the campus seemed normal--a stark contrast to the grim events of 24 hours earlier. A few tidbits of interest:I couldn't get a room at the GUKCC. The lady at the front desk [...]

What happened to you, Tom?
DeafRead GUEST BLOGGERS To whom it may concern: Everywhere, I am reading & hearing (please forgive the pun) that everybody has a different agenda, and different reasons for being angry. In my opinion, I think that what everybody is failing to see is this- It is a fight against audism. ‘Anti-Audism’ itself seems to be the theme of this protest. [...]

Last night when we found out about the arrests, there was this deluge of paged messages inquiring about cheap flights, where to find good deals, and plans to head out immediately. The people who flew to DC today were not planning to go until last night. They love Gallaudet so much they flew out very early this morning, missing the C.A.D. 100th Anniversary Gala [...]
