Several Deaf associations have sent letters endorsing the National Deaf Life Museum (formerly Gallaudet University Museum) and its efforts toward developing exhibitions and programs. These letters reiterate the role of the museum and its diverse population.The Museum is indebted to these associations for their leadership, participation, and support.
Dear Dr. Norman: The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) submits its strongest affirmation of endorsement and support to the Gallaudet University Museum. A museum that details and preserves the rich history and heritage of Gallaudet University is critically necessary to demonstrate to the world the incredible contributions and innovations of deaf individuals who have been blessed to experience academic and scholarly learning on this campus.

Resource Type: History
Dear Dr. Norman, the National Black Deaf Advocates (NBDA) is the official advocacy organization for thousands of Black Deaf and hard of hearing people in the United States. Black deaf leaders were concerned that Black Deaf and hard of hearing Americans are not adequately represented in leadership and policy decision-making activities affecting their lives so they established NBDA in 1982.
Dear Dr. Norman: The World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) would like to give full support and endorsement for the Gallaudet University Museum.
