Four students. Eight days of protest. One big change in university leadership. It’s the pivotal moment in history you probably don’t know about!
“Deaf President Now!” follows the events on the campus of Gallaudet University, the world’s first Deaf university, in 1988. The school’s board had appointed a hearing president instead of one of the qualified Deaf candidates. Four students organized and held protests, rallies and boycotts and after eight days, the school’s president resigned, and the first Deaf president of the university was appointed.
