In Coupvery, France, on January 4, 1809, Louis Braille was born, and he challenged blindness as a teenager.
As a child, Braille had an accident and was blinded, but while still a schoolboy, it created a new form of communication that would transform the lives of millions of blind people.
Braille died on January 6, 1852, and his writing system, which can be felt and interpreted by the blind, would be widely known only after his death.
Almost two centuries later, the Braille system continues to be an invaluable instrument of teaching and communicating for the blind and adapted to languages worldwide.
