I am grateful that blindness has not allowed me to forget this. A simplified version of Charles Barbier's military coding method for sending and receiving messages in the dark, the Braille touch reading uses six raised dots positioned in a two-column rectangle with three dots each, in 64 possible combinations. Braille was only 15 when he created this new code. In 1829, at the age 20, he published Method of Writing Words, Music, and Plain Songs by Means of Dots, for Use by the Blind and Arranged for Them. Today almost every country in the world uses Braille, which offers those who cannot see a chance to read and write.
Literacy is a building block of independence.
