Turning Points Film

"Signs of For a Change"

The Museum of Deaf History, Arts & Culture® is honored to have been featured in the Kansas Humanities Council short-film project, Turning Points.

This ten-minute film tells the story of how the I-35 highway sign began directing travelers to the Kansas School for the Deaf and the Museum of Deaf History, Arts & Culture®. The sign brought parents and students, as well as curious travelers, researchers, and others interested in learning more about Deaf culture. The need for community outreach led to the establishment of the Museum of Deaf History, Arts & Culture® to educate the general public about the diverse and vibrant culturo-linguistic Deaf community and to preserve and share the rich heritage of the Deaf experience.

The four films are included in the video. “Signs for a Change” is the first video and ends at 8:05. Watch this film at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec0E-8qrXRA.
