White Cane Safety Day When : October 15th White Cane Safety Day
celebrates and recognizes the achievements of the blind and
visually impaired, and their independence. That independence is
represented by the white cane that they use to travel from place to
place. The white cane is an invaluable tool for the blind. It
affords blind people a freedom of movement they otherwise may not
have. The white cane is a well recognized symbol of independence.
If you know someone who is blind or visually impaired, celebrate
this day with him or her. We suggest you let them take you for a
walk.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Origin of White Cane Safety Day: On October 15, 1964, a Joint
resolution of Congress passed legislation marking this day.
President Lyndon Johnson immediately issued a proclamation
declaring this day to be White Cane Safety Day. This is an annual
proclamation.
