Even after becoming world renowned for his invention of the telephone,
Bell never ceased in his lifelong work as an influential activist
for handicapped people. This is demonstrated in a telegram to Bell
from Helen Keller requesting his presence and assistance at a speaking
engagement in New York. Dr. Bell also received letters of admiration
and gratitude from blind students all over the country as shown
in a letter from a student at the Alexander Graham Bell School
in Chicago, Illinois.
