A graphic celebrating Deaf History month that has a photo of the historic Gallaudet University building, the premier institution for deaf and hard-of-hearing education worldwide.

Deaf History Month commemorates the legacy of language, leadership, and civil rights accomplishments of the Deaf community.

This month, #LACountyAD celebrates the people whose lived experiences and advocacy continue to make the nation more inclusive.

Can Deaf People Drive? is written in art deco text with a gold to black gradient. Below in blue script reads, An Essay for Deaf History Month. Below that is a 1920s automobile, in front of which stands a man in a gold suit and a woman in a black and gold dress. A decorative gold and black background looks a bit like light beams emitting from the car. A transparent fist is overlaid.

Welcome to #DeafHistoryMonth! Because the top search autofill on Google is still "can deaf people drive?", have an essay about it. Deaf people have been driving since cars have been around!
