Blindness Not An Obstacle For SIU Professor
Randall H. Nelson of Southern Illinois University will receive a PhD in government from the University of Michigan in February. Aged 36, he was blinded by a bazooka shell near the Rhine 19 years ago and later built a career as a government professor. He argues the blind can achieve like others, citing peers with doctorates in psychology and law, and favors non segregated education aided by Braille and recording devices.
