Recognizing the importance of White Cane Laws
In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson first proclaimed Oct. 15 as “White Cane Safety Day.” The original purpose was a safety reminder to promote courtesy and special consideration to blind people who are navigating America’s streets and roadways. Since this first observance, White Cane Safety Day has taken on greater meaning as a time to celebrate the self-sufficiency of people who are blind or visually impaired and their right to participate fully in society.
Every year, the nonprofit agency for the blind and visually impaired serving Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, and Perry Counties - Vision Resources of Central Pennsylvania - recognizes the importance of White Cane Laws and salutes the greater independence of persons in the blind community.
