40 years of history kickoff on March 5, 2025
2/27/2025 12:08:20 PM
Let's celebrate Minnesota together.
"Right. Again, that’s something that evolved. A commission does just what you said. A better commission not only identifies the needs, but does the research to support it and writes legislation so that it can pass and then lobbies the legislators and educates the community. And that’s what this one does. They’ve done some excellent work. If I were to rank nationally, I think Minnesota’s is number one."
- Dwight Maxa, Legacy Oral-Visual History Interview, 2011
Together, Minnesota's deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing community will kick off a celebration of 40 years of advocacy at the Capitol and making a difference in our lives.
