Toronto ON July 18 2012 –
The 8th Deaf History International Conference (DHIC) July 24 – 29 2012, hosted by the Canadian Cultural Society of the Deaf, celebrates award-winning film Clown White to be screened July 26 at the Airship 37 (Distillery District). Produced in 1981, Clown White was the first captioned film to air in Canada on CBC. Producer Martin Harbury and the 6 starring-Deaf actors will be in attendance. “This event symbolizes the significance of the presence of Deaf people in art and film and our rich longstanding history,” says conference chair and Deaf Historian Clifton Carbin.
The week opens (July 24) with High Tea with President & CEO of Canadian Hearing Society Chris Kenopic and Distinguished Guests including The Honorable David C. Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Gary Malkowski, first Deaf MPP of Canada. DHIC welcomes keynote speakers Deaf literary historian Ulla-Bell Thorin (Sweden), Deaf American Civil War historian Harry Lang (U.S) and Britain's celebrated Deaf historian Peter Jackson.
The theme of the conference, “Telling Deaf Lives: Biographies and Autobiographies” probes the history of Deaf communities around the world — Deaf leaders and innovators in literature, media arts, and history. “Deaf History is a fascinating subject and interest has grown tremendously”, says Peter Jackson, President of Deaf History International (DHI). Over 200 delegates from over 30 countries including Canada, U.S, Australia, Croatia, Cameroon, Lithuania, Ivory Coast, Martinique, Japan, Denmark, and France are scheduled to attend.
DHIC participants will celebrate the night away at a fabulous Gala on July 28 at the Fairmont Royal York featuring performances from Deaf comedians Angela Petrone-Stratiy (“You think Deaf People have Problems?”,1999) and David Burke, and Dancer Yan Liu (“Peacock”, 2012).

Great blog; very thought provoking. Here is more disability discrimination food for thought: Did you know that the Federal government mandates by law that Federal agencies must always hire a veteran over disabled Schedule A / Selective Service candidate? Even though most Americans with target Schedule A -type disabilities: visual impairment, mobility problems, mentally ill, loss of limb, etc. -- are excluded from military service?
