Kendra wrote that American Sign Language is the third most used language in the United States. I asked several people the question - what do you think the three most popular languages in the Unites States are and no one answered sign language.
Liz mentioned the deaf olympics which is a prestigious event that brings athletes from all over the world together. I don't remember ever hearing about the deaf olympics or a mention of them on channels such as ESPN - maybe if this event had more publicity, it would bring more awareness to the Deaf Culture.
I feel that Granville summed it up perfectly when he says "The most important thing I learned is that despite all of our differences most of us want the same things out of life and the lottery of life hands out disadvantages to the hearning and non-hearing equally - In other words we're all born into what we got and each of us has to make do with what we have"
