Helen Keller’s desk on display in Louisville museum

A museum in Louisville is debuting its newest addition and its famous connection: a desk used by visually-impaired activist Helen Keller.

The exhibit made its first appearance today at the American Printing House for the Blind in Louisville.

Officials believe this desk, where Keller worked for 44 years, is the home to the ideas that cemented her legacy.

"It’s such a powerful symbol of what one person can do and can accomplish, despite the disabilities they have in front of them," said Craig Meador, the president of the American Printing House for the Blind.

The desk is on loan from the American Foundation for the Blind.

You can check out the desk and the rest of the museum Monday through Saturday.
