The story of Rose Resnick, a blind child raised and mainstreamed in New York City neighborhoods and public schools who became a musican - but was ultimately denied the priviledge of taking a qualifying exam to become a music teacher because of her disability. Instead, she founded the first camp and year-round recreational programs for blind children and was influential in gaining their admission to California public schools.
