Description

The booming job market and wonderfully designed city of Baltimore attracted many families and individuals to the realm within the 19th century. A couple of of those transplants would change into prominent figures within the Deaf community. George W. Veditz, an early American Sign Language filmmaker and previous president of the National Association of the Deaf; Rev. Daniel E. Moylan, founding father of the oldest operational Methodist church for the deaf; and George Michael “Dummy” Leitner, a certified baseball player, all influenced Baltimore’s growing deaf population. Through vintage photographs of a hit organizations and sports teams, including the Silent Oriole Club, Christ Church of the Deaf, the Jewish Deaf Society of Baltimore, the Silent Clover Society, and the National Fraternal Society for the Deaf, Baltimore’s Deaf Heritage illustrates the evolution of Baltimore’s Deaf community and its prominent leaders.
