"Aid to the Blind in California, 1918-1955" presents a transcribed oral history interview offering a unique perspective on the evolution of services and support for the blind in California during a transformative period.

Baum, this document provides valuable first-hand accounts of the challenges and triumphs in advocating for the visually impaired.

The interview covers the period from 1918 to 1955, detailing the establishment and growth of aid programs, legislative efforts, and the changing social attitudes towards blindness. Sundquist's narrative sheds light on the individuals and organizations that shaped the landscape of disability rights in California.
