Graham Bell

I wouldn't say favorite is the word but I think his story is the most interesting. Just because he did some amazing things w/ sound and phones and all that, history doesn't really teach how he was hurting another community...

Yes, you're right. Bell's story is interesting in that he is a very well known person from history and that most people don't know about the negative impact he had on Deaf culture and the Deaf community. This information isn't normally taught when discussing Alexander Graham Bell. If interested, here is some more information about his impact on the Deaf: http://www.pbs.org/weta/throughdeafeyes/deaflife/bell_nad.html
