Back Issue: July 11, 2008 | Bronze hands spelling out the ASL alphabet, a staple of the traveling History Through Deaf Eyes exhibit that settled for some time in the lobby of Gallaudet’s Visitors Center, have found a home in a new museum at the site of their origin, the Maryland School for the Deaf (MSD), Frederick. The sculpture, which was cast from wooden hands carved by MSD student Clayton Forsythe in 1912, is part of the new Bjorlee Museum on the MSD campus. A grand opening for the museum was held on June 6, and it is now open to the public. The museum, named for the school’s fifth superintendent, Dr. Ignatius Bjorlee, includes diverse items from pre-Victorian times through the 1950s. These items are of historical significance and interest to historians of wars from the Revolutionary War to World War II, MSD alumni, the deaf community, and the general public.  |
