BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A statue of Helen Keller matching the
one on display in the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center is now touring
Alabama.
Leaders of the Helen Keller Foundation for Research and
Education and the Helen Keller Birthplace Foundation say the tour
is to raise awareness of Keller and the foundations that carry on
her work to end preventable blindness and deafness.
The statue will be at the Huntsville Museum of Art through
March. It goes to the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind the
first week in April, then the Birmingham Museum of Art from
mid-April through May. Ivy Green, Keller's birthplace in Tuscumbia,
will display the statue in June and July.
Next up is the Mobile Museum of Art in August and September, the
Montgomery Museum of Art in October and November, and then the
state Capitol in December.
