On this day in 1887 the deaf-blind Helen Keller aged 7 recognised the word 'water’. Keller was left deaf and blind from an illness when she was 19 months old. Her parents sought someone to educate her, going to notable figures like Alexander Graham Bell, and eventually settling with the young Anne Sullivan ('The Miracle Worker’) in 1887. Sullivan taught Helen to communicate by spelling words into her hand, but at first Helen could not understand that every object had a name. Her breakthrough on April 5th was when she realised that Sullivan spelling 'w-a-t-e-r’ into her hand and the sensation of running water on her other hand symbolised 'water’. From then on Helen was a fast learner, leaning 30 new words that day and going on to learn to write and speak so, by aged 16, she could attend school. Keller became the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree and went on to campaign for leftist causes, female suffrage and pacifism. She campaigned around the world and was highly respected and honoured as a symbol of hope and courage.

She later wrote of her 'miracle’ of April 5th:
“Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten–a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me…That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away”
