Also, don’t forget to send me your RSVP for our ECC Virtual Open House! My email address is mmorales@tlcdeaf.org. It is important that you send me your RVSP because that would help us to determine the need for interpreters.

Marie Philip
Anti-Bias Education Corner:

This week we celebrated International Deaf Awareness Week.

We want to take a moment to express the importance of preserving Deaf history. 

To appropriately commemorate a significant part of TLC’s history, we are honoring Marie Philip, the founder of the Bilingual-Bicultural Movement.

Even though Marie Philip passed away nearly 25 years ago, her legacy as the founder of the Bi-Bi movement has continued to live on, creating accessible communication for deaf students and individuals, as well as to celebrate ASL as its own language.

Marie Philip was instrumental in the foundation of TLC’s Bilingual-Bicultural Movement and an important milestone in Deaf History.
Have a great weekend!
