Video Description
A video featuring Jannelle Legg, a middle-age white woman, standing in front of a historical exhibit displaying images of Deaf schools and Deaf printers.
Transcription
This exhibit combines images, objects, and interviews, with historical narrative to explore and discuss the experiences of Deaf printers at The Washington Post. These stories are both unique and ubiquitous. They represent the experiences of Deaf workers at newspaper print shops across the country, reflecting their stories of employment struggles and negotiations, and of the technological changes which displaced skilled blue-collar workers. These stories are exceptional, highly specific to the social context of Washington DC and The Washington Post, reflecting a predominantly Deaf-school-educated, white, male experience.
