Struggling with Silence

meredith — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 14:46:23 PDT

A closer look at the story of Ed Hoffman, a deaf man who witnessed the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Did his deafness and use of ASL affect his how his story was understood? Personally I think it did, because I have seen video of him telling his story and his daughter's interpretation, which I'm sure she's done hundreds of times, doesn't exactly match up with what he's signing.
