This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Louis Braille. At present, an exhibit honoring his work and Braille itself is traveling the country. Very likely, there is no one who knows more about the man himself than tonight'sBooks And Beyond guest. C. Michael Mellor, former editor of the Matilda Ziegler magazine now residing in Brooklyn, will tell us tonight about Louis Braille's life and work, how he became interested in him and what Braille means to him. Has its time come and gone? In the days of adaptive technology and access to so very much in audio form, has Braille still got a place in our world? Take an hour from the debate and join us tonight. Whether or not you personally read or enjoy reading Braille yourself, it is a time we can spend together learning about a man who has had a significant impact on all our lives. To hear the show, go to www.ACBRadio.org and then to the mainstream page. Choose your favorite player and connection speed and you'll hear the show. It begins airing tomorrow morning at 1 hour UTC or tonight at 8pm US eastern standard time and then is replayed every 2 hours for the next 24. As we always say, you never know who you'll meet or what you'll learn on Books And Beyond.
