Deaf American Magazine The Deaf American magazine was published by the National Association of the Deaf (www.nad.org). No longer in publication, the Deaf American was edited for many years by Jess M. Smith, Jr. (1919-2005). From 1970 to 1978 I contributed a number of articles to the Deaf American. As time permits I am posting those articles on this website. |
