WGBH salutes your tremendous efforts in making television history! For the first time since it went on the air over 40 years ago, television, through your description and narration, was made accessible to the blind and low vision population. Thank you for being part of the pioneering team of describers and for your terrific work on “Rocket to the Moon” and “Native Son.”
