Famous Deaf people....

[Chrysanthe]

Hey guys....

I need your help. I am working at the ASL lab at college. I am currently working on a biography of each famous deaf people for ASL students. I know so far I have John Carlin, Laurent Clerc, Jack R. Gannon, Clayton Valli.....

Do you have any suggestions that the hearing students can learn about our deaf people?

Or do you know any website I can find for famous deaf biography? I have a book called Great Deaf Americans, it's a great book but I am looking for some update information. Hope you guys can help me!! Thanks!
