July brings a variety of celebrations – not just the celebration of our country's independence on July 4, but the anniversary of our Civil Rights Act on July 2, which was a landmark moment in U.S. history and signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on July 2, 1964.

It also made employment discrimination illegal and was considered the most sweeping civil rights legislation since Reconstruction.

Deafblind Awareness Week is observed every year during the last week of June in honor of Helen Keller’s birthday on June 27, and was first commemorated by President Ronald Reagan. Helen lost her sight and hearing in early infancy, and she became a celebrated representative of the deafblind community and its potential during her lifetime. This year, Deafblind Awareness Week will be observed from June 22-28, 2025.
