Blind Americans Equality Day, formerly known as White Cane Awareness Day, is celebrated every year on October 15 to highlight the challenges faced by people who are blind and provide resources to empower them.

Typically, during Blindness Awareness Month, we celebrate the progress and recognize the achievements in the blind community. We provide education on subjects as varied as blindness etiquette, accommodating blindness in the workplace and in the community, Guide dogs, the white cane, and much more. But it’s 2021 and my thoughts turn to Blindness Awareness in the context of the world as it is today.
