On Aug. 25, 1880 the first National Convention of Deaf Mutes met in Cincinnati, OH. Chaired by Edmund Booth, who announced their purpose: “To deliberate on needs of the deaf as a class." The first major issue taken on by new organization was oralism and suppression of American Sign Language.
At the third national convention, in 1889, the organization changed its name to National Association of the Deaf (NAD). NAD continues as an organization of, by and for Deaf and hard of hearing individuals shaped by Deaf leaders; advocating for civil rights and communication access in education, employment, health care, government, technology, telecommunications and more.
