Deaf History Isn’t Silent: How Sign Languages and Deaf Culture Were Pushed Aside by Oralism
In most classrooms, Deaf history is barely a footnote. Names like Laurent Clerc, Thomas Gallaudet, or the bold visual artists of the De’VIA movement don’t show up in standard history textbooks. The story we’re usually told is one where Deaf people were passive recipients of help from hearing saviors — a distorted narrative that centers speech over signing and conformity over culture.

They don’t see the years we spent fighting just to access basic education. They don’t see the barriers built around us — invisible to hearing people but suffocatingly real to us. They don’t see that while hearing kids were learning, many of us were trying to survive. Let’s be clear from the start: Deaf people are not broken. The education system is. A System Built Without Us Education in most…
