About five years ago, I took an evening course called “Diversity in the Deaf Community” at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. J Matt Searls, Associate Professor for Cultural and Creative Studies, proudly reminded the students that the “Deaf community belongs to the white people” on the first day of his class. I was stunned because I was looking forward to learning about the historic contribution of Black Deaf and Deaf People of color in the Deaf community. His message was absolutely clear that the Deaf community in America is not a welcoming place for Black Deaf people. Oh, did I mention that this professor happened to be an older white Deaf man?
