Lovely Peeps! Your cool #history for the day! 🚀

(You might want to watch with sound off. The music has words & I found it difficult to hear the music, read the text, AND focus on the signing.)

If you want to just enjoy the signing, the full text is within this post. 😊

"Everyone’s talking about Artemis II. The first humans to travel to the moon in 50 years. Historic mission.

But nobody’s talking about the #Deaf men who made it possible.

In the late 1950s, #NASA had a problem. They needed to understand what weightlessness does to the human body. But every test subject kept getting violently motion sick.

So they came to #Gallaudet.

Eleven Deaf men. Most of them had lost their hearing to spinal meningitis as children, which also damaged their vestibular system. Their inner ears couldn’t be overwhelmed. They were immune to motion sickness.

NASA put them in centrifuges. Zero-gravity flights. A rotating room for twelve straight days. One experiment on a ferry in choppy Nova Scotia waters. The researchers got so seasick they had to cancel it. The Gallaudet Eleven? They were playing cards.

Their bodies gave NASA the data it needed to send humans into space.

No #Gallaudet_Eleven — no Mercury. No Mercury — no Apollo. No Apollo — no Artemis II.

Sixty years later, four astronauts just flew 252,000 miles from Earth & came home safely.

They stood on the shoulders of eleven Deaf men most people have never heard of.

Now you know!"

Just watched Deaf President Now! on Apple TV.

It’s a documentary about how students of the world’s only #Deaf university, #Gallaudet, rebelled against having yet another hearing president foisted upon them in 1988.

In the course of just a week they revolutionised the power structures of an institution that had been a Deaf educational community for 124 years, but had never been led by a Deaf person who could sign or understand what it was to be part of that community. Great viewing!

#Audism

Speaking of #ClosedCaptioning, #Radiolab looks at the history of Closed Captioning, including the protests at #Gallaudet University, and the technologies that have led to its near ubiquity today, including the role of #ai.

[Histoire] L'America Sign Language, l'héritage de Thomas Gallaudet & Laurent Clerc

Série historique sur la langue des signes
L'Abbé de l'épée et la création des écoles pour les Sourds
Le congrès de Milan de 1880 : l'interdiction de la langue des signes française

Après avoir vu le congrès de Milan 1880, massacre complet de l'oeuvre des Sourds et de l'abbée de l'épée. Nous rebombinons vers 1815, un peu avant. Pour resituer le contexte :
L'abbée de l'épée décède en 1789. Le nouveau directeur de l'école des Sourds en france est l'Abbée Sicard depuis 1790 :

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roch-Ambroise_Cucurron_Sicard

Et dans cet épisode, vous allez comprendre pourquoi la langue des signes américaines est proche de la langue des signes française. Après, sans aucune source, ni étude, je pense que la langue des signes américaine va devenir très différente au fil des génération.

Aux états-unis, avant la naissance de l'ASL, la langue des signes était utilisé dans plusieures communautés. Extrait de wikipédia :

Prior to the birth of ASL, sign language had been used by various communities in the United States. In the United States, as elsewhere in the world, hearing families with deaf children have historically employed ad hoc home sign, which often reaches much higher levels of sophistication than gestures used by hearing people in spoken conversation. As early as 1541 at first contact by Francisco Vásquez de Coronado, there were reports that the Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains widely spoke a sign language to communicate across vast national and linguistic lines.

Our softball bison (or buffalo) is ready to swing for the fences!
