Interest in Pathfinder high at Federation of the Blind convention
Houston — Some 2,500 people attended the annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind July 1-6, 2023. Pathfinder Press was among the 100 exhibitors, publicizing titles it now makes available in accessible formats through the bookshare.org website.
The federation aims to be “a vehicle for the collective action” by the blind to improve their standard of living. It encourages blind people to learn skills like walking with a cane, reading Braille and using new technology to work and communicate.
Discussions at the Pathfinder Press booth covered the importance of the defense of constitutional rights, recent strike actions, the war in Ukraine and the challenge of sustaining family life in today’s crisis-ridden capitalist society.
One participant stopped by with her 13-year old son. She said, “It is great the Pathfinder books are available from bookshare.org, making them available to my son in Braille.” Pathfinder books can be downloaded in a file format for Braille readers.
One of the top sellers at the booth was The Low Point of Labor Resistance Is Behind Us: The Socialist Workers Party Looks Forward.
