I showed this mural in an incomplete form a month ago when it was being painted.
The artwork highlights the legacy of Deaf education through an image of Laurent Clerc in the upper left. Clerc is historically regarded as the founder of deaf education in the United States.
In the early 19th Century, along with Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, Clerc founded what is today the American School for the Deaf in West Hartford. The mural illustrates a variety of ways that deaf and hard of hearing individuals have been taught to communicate. Michael Rice painted the mural.
